USCF Tournaments at Habit:
We host USCF rated tournament games on the last Tuesday of the month. All tournament information and links to register can be found on our tournament page.
Players are required to be current US Chess members and to bring their own chess set and clock. Be prepared to clean up after yourself and exit by 9:00pm to be courteous to our host.
As we receive many emails about our tournaments please keep in mind this is an adult chess club first and foremost. Scholastic players are welcome but need to be very experienced tournament players (typically USCF 900+) to compete in our monthly tournaments.
Due to the popularity of our events and space limitations, we have a cut off of 20 players. Guarantee your spot by registering early on chessregister.com.
