How we pair time control groups:
Swiss. Rounds ASAP. Requested byes are available for 1st round only except G/90 d5. We pair sections with the closest USCF ratings. We then utilize advanced pairings (closest pairings play) the 1st round, due to the limited amount of rounds played.
Must be a current USCF member to play in rated sections. Bring Clocks, Sets and USCF membership card, if applicable. Pairings at the discretion of the TD.
