Hello Chess Players,

Tomorrow is the November Swiss with two sections, a 1600+ and the U1600. This is our last event for the year, and for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, I have become too busy already to run any more events and next year, I have some significant changes to my schedule that will prevent me from dedicating an entire day to these.

If you or anyone you know happens to be interested in helping direct events, please let me know. As long as someone is available to perform the TD duties during the event, I can help in the morning with registration and announcements, and return in the evening to help wrap up the remaining duties. I just cannot take an entire day out for the events at this time.

Well, enough of that has been said. If you plan to play in the event, be sure to arrive before the end of registration to be sure that you will be paired for the first round. Registration ends at 9:45AM.

If you wish to guarantee that you are paired for the first round, please arrive in-person at the site before 9:45. Text messages and emails are not valid check-in methods for the event.

Hello Chess Players,

Tomorrow is the October Swiss with two sections, a 1600+ and the U1600. Our last event for the year, and for the foreseeable future, will be the November Swiss on November 11. Registration for that event will be available on November 1.

If you plan to play in the event, be sure to arrive before the end of registration to be sure that you will be paired for the first round. Registration ends at 9:45AM.

If you wish to guarantee that you are paired for the first round, please arrive in-person at the site before 9:45. Text messages and emails are not valid check-in methods for the event.

Hello Chess Players,

Information for the Toledo Swiss on September 9 can be found by clicking here for the flyer. Registration is also available using the link below the Information link in the top right corner of the page.

If you did not play in the previous events, note the new time controls, round times, and location. If you plan to play in the event, be sure to arrive before the end of registration to be sure that you will be paired for the first round. Registration ends at 9:45AM.

If you wish to guarantee that you are paired for the first round, payment must be received by Friday via mail or in-person at the site before 9:45. Text messages and emails are not valid check-in methods for the event. Either prepay or arrive on-time.

Hello Chess Players,

Unfortunately, since we do not have a tournament director for August, there will not be an event on August 12. There is also a possibility that the November Swiss will be the last event for this year and I am not sure when we will be returning in 2024. I plan to have a survey in the near future to gauge interest in different event formats as this will probably increase the likelihood of the events returning sooner.

If you play in or regularly attend the events and would not mind becoming a certified tournament director, please reach out to me to discuss this. The process of becoming certified and handling common questions during an event are typically simple enough that I have played and directed in these events in the past.

Again, there will not be any event in August. We plan to return for the September Swiss event on September 9.
