- The tournament being unrated, we will soften the rules a little bit: if you make an illegal move it doesn’t lose on the spot, instead, the TD will add 1 minute to your opponent.
- Places 1 - 10 earn series points: 10 points for 1st place, 9 points for 2nd… 1 point for 10th. Those who score the most points throughout all 6 events will get prizes.
- Chess sets and clocks are provided.
- Event is open for out-of-state players.
- 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 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.
