- Want to play strong opponents? Then this event is for you!
- We have assembled a gang of strong players. Chess gladiators, all rated at least 2000, and some much higher. They're not playing each other, they're playing the challengers. They're playing YOU!
- Can you score a point? Test your might!
- Participation is limited to club members. The price for non-members in the registration menu below includes a one-year adult membership for the club. If you'd like a different membership tier, please head to our Membership page.
- Participation is also currently limited to the first 10 players to sign up, but may expand depending on how many Gladiators we can recruit.
- The fine print: Challengers will play gladiators at least 3 out of 4 rounds. If challengers play each other, there will be no more than a 100 rating point difference or a difference of 2 places on the wallchart.
- Pairings will be calculated and published in advance and include randomness as opposed to standard swiss pairings.
- This event is USCF rated, and a current US Chess membership is required. Please visit the US Chess Membership site to join or renew.
- Our confirmed gladiators include players rated: 1 x 2500+ 2 x 2300+ 2 x 2200+ 1 x 2100+ 1 x 2000+
- MACA provides tournament listing for all as a service to the chess community. For question, comments, or dispute regarding events that are not organized by MACA, please contact the tournament organizer directly.
- Remember that each player is responsible for bringing and setting up their clock. Please refer to the Metrowest Chess Club Digital Clock Guide for instructions on how to set digital clocks.
- MACA does not recommend but allows US Chess approved electronic scorekeeping devices. Please note that some national tournaments held by US Chess ban electronic scorekeeping, so be sure to know how to keep score without aid of electronics.
- If online registration is enabled on this event, you can Join/Renew your USCF and MACA membership at the online registration page. If online registration is not available, you can join MACA (The Massachusetts Chess Association) at our Online Membership Form and USCF (United States Chess Federation) at USCF Membership Page.
