Playing Competitive Chess Tournaments in West LA
Players rated 2000+ are eligible to play for free.
All Children and Adults are welcome!
(The prize payout will be based on the number of players in each section. 70% of the collection will be added to the prize pool. In the event of a tie, the prize will be split among the winners with the same scores.)
Please note that the Play-up option is only available to players within 200 USCF rating points of the section they want to play in. For instance, if you wish to play in the 1800+ section, your rating cannot be below 1600 based on your current month’s supplement rating or your most recent rating. If you’re an unrated player who hasn’t played any rated games yet, you’ll need to start with the U1000 section. Keep in mind that your rating will be provisional within your first 25 rated games, and we’ll use your provisioned rating for section eligibility.
You can request any number of byes (the rounds to skip) for your convenience by filling the form or send an email to chess@icea1.org, but make sure to request a bye at least one hour before the tournament round begins. Only one half-point bye will be allowed for sections rated 1000+/1800+ and it cannot be in the last round. All other byes are 0-point byes.
