Registration: Registration for the tournament will start in January. This will include player registrations for all three events (bughouse, championship, and “I Love Chess Too”), meal selections, souvenirs (T-shirts, chess boards, etc), and team tables.

Hotel reservations can be made directly with the hotels. We are holding over 300 rooms at discount rates for you to reserve! Click here a list of hotels and their amenities.
