Eastern Open 2025
December 26, 2025 - December 29, 2025
Thank You, Everyone, for joining us in Arlington, Virginia for the Golden Anniversary of the Eastern Open!
The deadline for signing up for Senior Prize eligibility, in person at the tournament, was before Round 4.
Prizes which have already been paid will not be re-distributed due to mistakes or delays in signing up for prize eligibility.
When your game is over, always confirm the result with your opponent by signing each other's notation sheets. After you have done this, please also write the result of your game on the yellow pairing sheet in the hall. If your result is not reported correctly, this may affect your pairings, rating and possible prize.
Thank You!
