The tournament will have a giant round robin format without the playoffs round. Players will be sorted in decreasing order by their USATT rating and divided into groups of 8. Players without the rating will need to provide an estimated rating which can be obtained by asking other club members who know the player’s skill level. Play in each class will proceed on two tables at once to accelerate the game. There will be a morning and an afternoon session. Lower rated players will play in the morning from 9 am to 2 pm. The higher rated players will play from 2 pm to 7 pm. The table below shows the prize money and trophy distribution. The total prize money purse is $1300.
