Warning: Traffic may be difficult due to NYC Marathon today. Please plan well. Also beware that Daylight Savings Time begins today so set your clocks back!

Thank you for signing up for “CLOSE”, TRM#324, the chess tournament on  Nov 5, 2023 at Riverbank State Park.  There is no ENTRY FEE for this tournament, but you must have a current USCF membership to participate in the tournament.  Registration closes Friday at 6:00 PM.

If you are new to chess or have an expired membership you can join/renew on-site.  The form, available at the check-in desk, must be completed before 9:15 to be paired for round 1.  Non-members are not permitted to play in rated tournaments.  The reduced fee for USCF memberships on-site is $9, good for one full year.

Please plan to arrive to check-in between 8:30 – 9:30.  All play four games. Games are at 10:00, 11:30, 12:45 and 2:00. Awards are at 3:30.

If you check-in after 9:30 your name will not appear on the pairing list for the first round.  You may be able to play round 1 after the rounds are posted. You will have to be patient and wait until the staff can help you after those listed get seated correctly.  Please wait near the check-in area.  You may be called at 10:00 as those already posted begin their game on time. 

Players who are checked-in as present and paired for round 1 but do not appear at the correct board within 30 minutes from the start of the round will be removed from the tournament.  

The welcome message (attached) may answer some of your questions regarding the tournament.  

Please enjoy the park and the great outdoors.  There is limited space inside.  

No noise is permitted in the tournament hall as great concentration is required for the players.  Please bring the kids outside to play and make noise.

 Phones, especially, are not allowed in the playing area. 

Chess game clocks are set to G/30;d5.  “Touch piece” rule includes saying “I adjust” BEFORE touching a piece.

All tournament  results will appear on the website at www.chesstrm.org/NYC/

Awards:  1st, 2nd and 3rd Place in each section receives a trophy.  All players with 2.5 or more points receives a medal.

Good luck.  Have fun.

-Brother John
