It shows 9:30-6pm as the timing but that is for all the sections. Please refer to the above table for your specific section Round 1 start times. \n💸 $2\,000 guaranteed prize fund for top two sections\, trophies for the rest\n\n🚗 Parking Options (As low as $15 from 8am-7:30pm as of 6/29/26):\nClick for SpotHero Options \nClick for ParkWhiz Options \n  \n\n\n\nFour Independent Tournaments. One Exciting Season.\nEvery Summer Showdown weekend is a complete standalone US Chess-rated Swiss tournament. \nCompete for individual and team trophies\, enjoy four exciting rounds of chess (three rounds in the 1900+ section)\, and earn points toward the Summer Showdown Season Championship individual and team trophies. \nYou can play just this event or compete in all four weekends. The choice is completely yours. \nRegister for Saturday August 1\, 2026 event at bottom of the page and compete for the trophies (lower sections) or the cash (top 2 sections)  … either way\, it’s time to go for the gold. \nLinks to register for additional weeks: \n\nWeek 1 Saturday July 11 – https://officialchess.org/event/official-chess-summer-showdown-season-series-week-1-saturday-july-11/\nWeek 2 Sunday July 19 – https://officialchess.org/event/official-chess-summer-showdown-season-series-week-2-sunday-july-19/\nWeek 3 Sunday July 26 – https://officialchess.org/event/official-chess-summer-showdown-season-series-week-3-sunday-july-26/\n\n\n\n\nSummer Showdown Season Series\nThis tournament is one of four weekends that make up the Official Chess Summer Showdown Season. \nPlayers who compete in multiple weekends earn points toward our Season Championships while still competing for a full set of awards every single weekend. \nEvery weekend has: \n\nIts own Swiss Pairings\nIndividual standings\nTeam standings\nIndividual trophies\nTeam trophies\n\nPlayers also earn Season Championship points that accumulate throughout the summer. \n\n\n\nBuild Any Team You Want\nNote Change to Rules:  \nFor the top two cash prize sections\, we will continue allowing teammates to play each other whenever required by the Swiss pairing system to prevent stacking of teams. However\, in the other sections\, we will make every effort to avoid pairing teammates against one another\, except in the rare instances where no other pairing is possible. \nWe considered this policy carefully and believe it provides a more rewarding experience for participants while preserving the integrity and fairness of the tournament. \nCreate a team with your: \n\nSchool\nChess Club\nFamily\nFriends\nSummer Camp\nNeighborhood\nCondo Building\nAny organization\n\nThere are no rosters to submit. \nSimply register under the exact same team name and everyone will automatically be on the same team. \nTo avoid confusion\, choose a unique team name whenever possible. \nBefore registering\, check the Advanced Listings to see whether another team is already using your desired name unless you intend to join that team. \nA simple way to make your team unique is to add a number\, such as Brooklyn Knights 67. \nPlayers may switch teams between tournament weekends. Previous scores remain with the previous team while future scores count toward the new team. \nMaximum 25 players per team each weekend. \n\n\n\nAdults Can Play Too!\nParents\, coaches\, and other adults are welcome to compete in the 900–1300 section and above. \nFor the first time\, families can actually compete together on the same team. \n\n\n\n1900+ Section Adjustment for Overall Team Scoring\nThis tournament uses the standard Swiss scoring methodology (1 point for a win\, 0.5 for a draw and 0 for a loss) \nSince the 1900+ section plays only three rounds (versus 4 for other sections)\, scoring is adjusted accordingly for Team Trophy purposes. \n\nWin = 1 ⅓ point\nDraw = ⅔ point\nLoss = 0 points\n\n\n\n\nSection Time Controls and Start Times\n(PLEASE NOTE STAGGERED ROUND 1 START TIMES) \nAll sections use Swiss Pairings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSection\nFormat\nRound Start Times\n\n\nUnrated–600 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/30 d5\n12:00 PM\, 1:30 PM\, 2:45 PM\, 4:00 PM\n\n\n500–1000 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/40 d5\n11:00 AM\, 1:00 PM\, 2:30 PM\, 4:00 PM\n\n\n900–1300\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1200–1600\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1600–2000\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1900+\n3 Rounds • G/70 d5\n9:30 AM\, 12:30 PM\, 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Note that round start times for every round have now been set.

It shows 9:00-6:30pm as the timing but that is to encompass all the sections. Please refer to the above table for your specific section Round 1 start times. All rounds should be prepared to stay until the end. \n💸 $2\,000 guaranteed prize fund for top two sections\, trophies for the rest\n🚗 Parking Options (As low as $15 from 7:30am-7:30pm less than 5 blocks away – pricing confirmed as of 9/15/26):\nStreet parking is relatively plentiful for Manhattan but below are some reasonable garage options: \nClick for SpotHero Options \nClick for ParkWhiz Options \n  \n\n\n\nFour Independent Tournaments. One Exciting Season.\nEvery Fall Showdown weekend is a complete standalone US Chess-rated Swiss tournament. \nCompete for individual and team trophies\, enjoy four exciting rounds of chess (three rounds in the 1900+ section)\, and earn points toward the Fall Showdown Season Championship individual and team trophies. \nYou can play just this event or compete in all four weekends. The choice is completely yours. \nRegister for Sunday September 1\, 2026 event at bottom of the page and compete for the trophies (lower sections) or the cash (top 2 sections)  … either way\, it’s time to go for the gold. \nLinks to register for additional weeks: \n\nWeek 2 Sunday 10/11/2026- Link to come\nWeek 3 Sunday 11/22/2026 – Link to come\nWeek 4 Sunday 12/20/2026 – Link to come\n\n\n\n\nFall Showdown Season Series\nThis tournament is one of four weekends that make up the Official Chess Fall Showdown Season. \nPlayers who compete in multiple weekends earn points toward our Season Championships while still competing for a full set of awards every single weekend. \nEvery weekend has: \n\nIts own Swiss Pairings\nIndividual standings\nTeam standings\nIndividual trophies\nTeam trophies\n\nPlayers also earn Season Championship points that accumulate throughout the Fall. \n\n\n\nBuild Any Team You Want\nFor the top two cash prize sections\, teammates will have to play each other whenever required by the Swiss pairing system. \nHowever\, in the other sections\, we will make every effort to avoid pairing teammates against one another\, except in the rare instances where no other pairing is possible. \nWe considered this policy carefully and believe it provides a more rewarding experience for participants while preserving the integrity and fairness of the tournament. \nCreate a team with your: \n\nSchool\nChess Club\nChess Academy\nCoach\nFamily\nFriends\nSummer Camp\nNeighborhood\nCondo Building\nAny organization\n\nThere are no rosters to submit. \nSimply register under the exact same team name and everyone will automatically be on the same team. \nTo avoid confusion\, choose a unique team name whenever possible. \nBefore registering\, check the Advanced Listings to see whether another team is already using your desired name unless you intend to join that team. \nA simple way to make your team unique is to add a number\, such as Brooklyn Knights 67. \nPlayers may switch teams between tournament weekends. Previous scores remain with the previous team while future scores count toward the new team. \nMaximum 25 players per team each weekend. \n\n\n\nAdults Can Play Too!\nParents\, coaches\, and other adults are welcome to compete in the 900–1300 section and above. \nFor the first time\, families can actually compete together on the same team. \n\n\n\n1900+ Section Adjustment for Overall Team Scoring\nThis tournament uses the standard Swiss scoring methodology (1 point for a win\, 0.5 for a draw and 0 for a loss) \nSince the 1900+ section plays only three rounds (versus 4 for other sections)\, scoring is adjusted accordingly for Team Trophy purposes. \n\nWin = 1 ⅓ point\nDraw = ⅔ point\nLoss = 0 points\n\n\n\n\nSection Time Controls and Start Times\n(PLEASE NOTE STAGGERED ROUND 1 START TIMES) \nAll sections use Swiss Pairings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSection\nFormat\nRound Start Times\n\n\nUnrated–600 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/30 d5\n12:00 PM\, 1:30 PM\, 2:45 PM\, 4:00 PM\n\n\n500–1000 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/40 d5\n11:00 AM\, 1:00 PM\, 2:30 PM\, 4:00 PM\n\n\n900–1300\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1200–1600\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1600–2000\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1900+\n3 Rounds • G/70 d5\n9:30 AM\, 12:30 PM\, 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Note that round start times for every round are set\, just like at major championships.

Registration links for Weeks 3 and 4 will be posted as they become available. \n\nFall Showdown Season\nThis tournament is one of four weekends that make up the Official Chess Fall Showdown Season. \nPlayers who compete in multiple weekends earn points toward our Season Championships while still competing for a complete set of awards every single weekend. \nEvery weekend has: \n\nIts own Swiss pairings\nIndividual standings\nTeam standings\nTop 5 individual trophies\nTop 3 team trophies\n\nPlayers also earn Season Championship points that accumulate throughout the fall. \n\nBuild Any Team You Want\n\nTeam Pairing Policy: In the top two cash prize sections\, teammates will play one another whenever required by the Swiss pairing system. \nIn the remaining sections\, we will make every effort to avoid pairing teammates against one another except in the rare instances where no other pairing is possible. \n\nWe considered this policy carefully and believe it provides a more rewarding experience for participants while preserving the integrity and fairness of the tournament. \nCreate a team with your: \n\nSchool\nChess club\nChess academy\nCoach\nFamily\nFriends\nSummer camp\nNeighborhood\nCondo building\nAny organization\n\nThere are no rosters to submit. \nSimply register under the exact same team name and everyone will automatically be placed on the same team. \nIf you do not enter a team name during registration\, your school will automatically be used as your team. \nTo avoid confusion\, choose a unique team name whenever possible. Before registering\, check the Advanced Listings to see whether another team is already using your desired name unless you intend to join that team. \nA simple way to make your team name unique is to add a number\, such as Brooklyn Knights 67. \nPlayers may switch teams between tournament weekends. Previous scores remain with the previous team\, while future scores count toward the new team. \nA minimum of 2 players is required to qualify as a team. Teams may have up to 25 players each weekend. \n\nAdults Can Play Too!\nParents\, coaches\, and other adults are welcome to compete in the 900–1300 section and above. \nFamilies can compete together on the same team. \n\n1900+ Section Adjustment for Overall Team Scoring\nThis tournament uses standard Swiss scoring: 1 point for a win\, 0.5 point for a draw\, and 0 points for a loss. \nBecause the 1900+ section plays three rounds instead of four\, its scores are adjusted for team trophy purposes: \n\nWin: 1 ⅓ points\nDraw: ⅔ point\nLoss: 0 points\n\n\nSection Time Controls and Start Times\nPLEASE NOTE THE STAGGERED ROUND 1 START TIMES. \nAll sections use Swiss pairings. \n\n\n\n\nSection\nFormat\nRound 1\nRound 2\nRound 3\nRound 4\n\n\n\n\nUnrated–600\nScholastic Only\n4 Rounds\nG/30 d5\n12:00 PM\n1:30 PM\n2:45 PM\n4:00 PM\n\n\n500–1000\nScholastic Only\n4 Rounds\nG/40 d5\n11:00 AM\n1:00 PM\n2:30 PM\n4:00 PM\n\n\n900–1300\n4 Rounds\nG/50 d5\n9:30 AM\n11:30 AM\n1:45 PM\n3:45 PM\n\n\n1200–1600\n4 Rounds\nG/50 d5\n9:30 AM\n11:30 AM\n1:45 PM\n3:45 PM\n\n\n1600–2000\n4 Rounds\nG/50 d5\n9:30 AM\n11:30 AM\n1:45 PM\n3:45 PM\n\n\n1900+\n3 Rounds\nG/70 d5\n9:30 AM\n12:30 PM\n3:00 PM\nNo round\n\n\n\n\nRound start times are fixed.

Each bye earns the same number of tournament points as a draw and does not affect the player’s US Chess rating. \n\nAwards\nEvery tournament weekend awards: \n\nCash prizes for the top two sections:\n\n1900+ Section: $1\,250 total – $600 for 1st\, $300 for 2nd\, $150 for 3rd\, $100 for 4th\, and $100 for 5th\n1600–2000 Section: $750 total – $350 for 1st\, $150 for 2nd\, $100 for 3rd\, $100 for 4th\, and $50 for 5th\nCash prizes will be split in the event of ties.
