Dear Players,
I would like to personally invite everyone to the annual State Championship over the Labor day weekend. We are expecting over 200 players, and will be awarding 1st place trophies on top of the $20,000 prize fund. Please, select the 3day schedule if you prefer to play all rounds with long-time control, or select the 2-day schedule if you can't make it on Saturday, and/or if you prefer to play the first three rounds with a bit faster time control :)
We are back at the Santa Clara Convention Center, where parking is Free :)
This year the organizers and TD crew are working hard to make the event special and smooth: we are making sure that all parents have a comfortable skittle room for all three days, as well as ensuring that all games are going without disturbance and always providing fair play and conditions to every player.
