Now hosted at Glen Rock\, this tournament is an exciting opportunity for newer players to have fun and put their abilities to the test against opponents of similar skill and age\, and for more experienced players rated Under 1600 to compete for large cash prizes. This tournament is perfect for both unrated players who are playing against opponents of a similar skill level\, and for more experienced players wanting to win larger cash prizes than our usual Glen Rock Quads. \nLocation: 354 Rock Rd\, Glen Rock\, NJ 07452 \nOur grassroots tournament consists of four general sections: two unrated and two rated.

Normal registration closes 12pm on the day of the tournament. \nThe tournament will start at 2pm for all sections and will finish no later than 7pm.

Each school can register as many players as they wish in the tournament. However\, only the three highest scoring players will have their scores counted towards their school total. Note\, only academic institutions\, not chess schools\, can qualify for the prize. \nAll Rounds start at 2pm. Subsequent rounds will take place as soon as each game in the section finishes.
