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.
