1-day tourneys this weekend (6/24-25) & People's tournament (7/14-16)

Published: Wed, 06/21/17

 
Dear Players and Parents,

Safe to say this past weekend's BAC Championship was exciting: 2 Grand Masters, 1 International Master and 5 other titled players!
Thank you for your continue support. 

We are very excited to offer two different tournaments this weekend with two VERY different time controls: G/45, and G/90.
G/45 in Pleasanton on Saturday - an excellent way to transition from scholastic G/30 to regular tourneys.
G/90 in Foster City on Sunday - if you need time to think, this is your tournament! :)

Everyone can choose what's the best for them or go to both :)
Please, register TODAY because space is limited, and they go fast!!!
 

Late Fee will be turned on if space is becoming an issue and/or the day before the tournament, so don't wait any longer!

Also, the 42nd People's Tournament is approaching fast (www.bayareachess.com/peoples).
This tournament is at again the historical site of The Faculty Club at Berkeley.
Space is limited, so REGISTER NOW!!!

Any questions? email us to ask@bayareachess.com and our amazing Team will be answering your email super fast.

Many thanks!
Judit and the BAC Team
