Teams and Scoring

Each company may enter one team with any number of eligible employees. All players must be employees of the company they represent.

A company’s score for each regular-season evening is the sum of its four highest individual over-the-board point totals. The five evening scores determine the regular-season corporate standings.

On December 17, the top four companies compete in the Final Four. Players from non-qualifying companies may compete in a separate three-round Side Swiss.

League Fee

$100 per company covers the six-evening season. Pay at the Club by credit card, cash or check.

Registration and Check-In

Every player must register individually, even if a team captain has already submitted a roster. New players may register through December 10.

After registering, players receive a text message with their QR ticket. Present the QR code when you arrive to confirm attendance for pairings.
