Adult Tournament Types
Adult events can include both men and women players, however they may be limited to just one gender. Adult events can also be based on skill level or age group, possibly both. There are a number of options with Adult events, and tournament directors can choose to host as many or as few divisions in these two categories as they wish. Junior players are allowed to participate in adult skill events. Some juniors choose to play in these events to gain experience and possibly improve their rating.
Tournament Descriptions
Adult events offer opportunities to play at your skill level or age group on a local, regional, national and even international level.
Skill Level
Players can only compete in a skill division higher than their current rating (e.g. a player rated 3.2 can enter 3.5 division or higher but cannot enter the 3.0 division)聽If you have been participating in a league you may already have started to get a rating which would help to define your skill level.聽
Age Group
