Depending on the number of participants\, we organize both rated and unrated events\, giving players of all levels the chance to compete and grow.  \nEach tournament is a series of 3 games (G25/D5) and is limited to about 40 players to ensure a comfortable\, organized\, and enjoyable experience for everyone.​ Students are also divided into 4 sections based on USCF rating: Beginner (Unrated)\, Novice (Under 600)\, Reserve (Under 1000)\, and Advanced (Under 1600).  \n​Our main goal is to strengthen our young players\, build confidence\, and provide local tournament opportunities right here in Brooklyn — so families don’t have to travel to other boroughs to enjoy quality chess events. \n​Through these events\, we aim to create a fun\, friendly\, and educational atmosphere where every child feels welcome and proud to play.

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. Our U1600 is run on a separate day. \nEach player is guaranteed four matches and trophies are awarded to top players at our grassroots competition! \nEarly bird registration expires the Sunday before each tournament. 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. Although the rated sections have specified round times\, we reserve the right to start a section early if all games in a round finish earlier than anticipated. \nCheck in for all sections is between 1:45pm and 1:55pm. \nAll players in our USCF rated sections are required to notate. \nFor our Grassroots compeition only\, in addition to individual team prizes\, we are giving out team prizes to the three best schools in the competition! 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. Click on each section in the table for more information\, including trophy placement\, entry fees\, and other requirements. \nFebruary 22nd: Section 1 (Unrated K-2) \nFebruary 22nd: Section 2 (Unrated K-6) \nFebruary 22nd: Section 3 (<600 K-12) \nFebruary 22nd: Section 4 (<800 K-12) \nFebruary 22nd: Section 5 (<1200 K-12) \nFebruary 22nd: Section 1 (Unrated K-2) \n\n\nSections 1-5 \n\n$50.00 USD$40.00 USD \nEarly bird price expires on Feb 15\, 2026 at 11:59 PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTournament trophies\n\n\nAll players with 2.5 or more points will receive a trophy! \nTop 3 schools will receive a team trophy! \n\n\n\n\n\nSchedules\n\n\n\n02/22/2026-02/22/2026\n\n\n\n\nSections\n\n\n\nSection 1 (Unrated K-2nd grade)Prize: Trophies to first 6 places\nSection 2 (Unrated K-6th grade)Prize: Trophies to first 6 places\nSection 3 (<600 K-12th Grade)Prize: Trophies to first 6 places\nSection 4 (<800 K-12th Grade)Prize: Trophies to first 6 places\nSection 5 (<1200 K-12th Grade)Prize: Trophies to first 3 places\n\n\n\n\nByes\n\n\n\nMax of byes: 2\nLast round to request a bye: 1\nNumber of rounds in tourney: 4\nBye note: Late entrants will receive 1/2 point bye for round 1\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\n4 ROUND SWISS SYSTEM (EVERYONE PLAYS 4 GAMES).
