Club Update: Because of the current surge in COVID cases, the TOCC will continue meeting outdoors with weekend tournaments for the time being. Expect a return to Monday evening play (whether it’s Open Play in the Park or tourneys at the Goebel Center) in March 2022.
As such,
Our next tournament, the New Year Swiss in the Park, will take place Sunday, Jan 9!
— And SAVE THE DATE – our Jan Swiss in the Park will take place on Jan 23! Same site, full details TBA soon. —
Four rounds in three sections: Open, Under 1600, and Under 800.
The top 2 sections will play G/40 d5, while the U800 will play double-rounds. This means they play two games against each opponent for a total of eight games! (G/25 d5).
