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.

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.

We host the Open Championships each month\, alternating between our Glen Rock Location and Bergen County Acadmies. A Minimum 1600 USCF rating is required in either: 1) the monthly published rating supplement or 2) live rating based on recently submitted tournaments. \nThe tournament consists of a single section into which all players are grouped. Each competitor plays three games\, matched against opponents based on previous results and rating. This pairing system gives lower rated players the opportunity to test their abilities and prove themselves against National Masters! \nBest of all\, we offer cash prizes! Eligibility for class prizes is based on published rating only. The championship winner earns $200\, second place receives $150\, and third gets $100. Although this statute is rarely applied\, we reserve the right to decrease the prize fund to 70% minimum if total registration is below 30 participants. Additionally\, we offer a $75 cash prize for the top performing U2200\, U2000\, U1800\, under 13 years old\, and over 55 years old players. \nAll games are G/60;d5 (60 minutes per person with a five second delay per turn). The first round will always start at 2 PM exactly. The second round begins at 4:15 PM and the third starts at 6:30 PM. However\, five to ten minutes of leeway are generally granted for players who just finished an earlier round and need a short amount of extra time before their next match. \nThe early bird entry fee is $35. This rate expires the Thursday before the tournament at 11:59 PM\, after which the entry fee is $50. Online registration will expire the day of the tournament at 12 PM. Onsite registration is available from 10 AM till 1 PM on the day of the tournament. \nIt is important that you are aware of our cancellation policy.
