OKLAHOMA CITY CHESS CLUB
Wednesday Weeklies
A series of rated three-round practice events
Game/60+10
Get some practice at a time control that lets you stretch out & play your best game. For these three-game series, hyper accelerated (1-2) Swiss pairings will be used (the top-rated player is paired with the #2-rated player, #3 is paired with #4, and so on). No prizes; this tournament is for practice & rating points only.
There is also a special section with shorter games (G/30;d5) for youth players rated under 1000.
One game a week on Wednesday evenings:
-
October 16, 23, 30

November 13, 20, 27

Oklahoma City Chess Club Terms & Conditions
​​
Refunds: A player can receive a refund if they cancel up to one hour before the tournament start time. Players who no-show do not receive a refund.
Running late?
Players who register after the posted cutoff time will be given a first-round bye in Swiss tournaments. For tournaments that require players to check in, those who are not checked in by the cutoff time will be given a half-point bye for round one. For quads, players who arrive after the registration cutoff/check-in time may not be able to participate in the event.
But there's a caveat!
If you are running late, just send a text to (405) 642-6136 before the cutoff time and we'll put you in.
​No shows = not cool.
For tournaments that don't require players to check in, it's still very important that we know who's coming and who isn't. Nobody likes having to sit there doing nothing for an hour because their opponent couldn't be bothered to let us know they couldn't make it. If something comes up, just send us a text so we'll know not to pair you. Players who no-show may be prohibited from registering in advance for future tournaments.​
Equipment: Sets, clocks, scoresheets, and pencils are provided at all Oklahoma City Chess Club tournaments. For events held in the café, bring your own equipment if you can.
US Chess membership: A current US Chess membership is required for all rated tournaments. New US Chess members age 18+ may purchase their membership through us before the early entry deadline and pay no entry fee for their first tournament. Scholastic players can purchase or renew their memberships for $10 courtesy of Oklahoma Scholastic Chess.
About the venue: The chess club is located above Kamp's 1910 Café. Except on Sundays, when the café is closed, do not bring any outside food or drink into the building. Try something from their delicious menu instead.​
Accessibility: If you require special accommodations due to a disability, please let us know in advance so we can do our best to ensure you have a great tournament experience.
Capacity: Limited to 60 players.
