Mohar May Chess Tournament

Best Western

Saturday, May 9, 2026

EVENT OVERVIEW

Team Trophies!

Three players in the rated sections attending the same school (as of the spring 2026 semester). Teams have no upper limit; the more players on a team, the higher the chances for a good result, but only the top 3 players’ results count for the team total. The team gains points by winning or drawing rated games. Points are weighted, with results in higher sections worth more.
