Liberty Bell Open 2025

January 17, 2025 - January 20, 2025

To contact Continental Chess, please email:  director@chess.us  (at least one hour before your game).

 

If you paid the entry fee online then you do NOT also need to check-in in person at the tournament:

Just check the registration list at chessaction.com and make sure you are listed in the correct section and schedule, and that you did not click on a half-point bye by mistake.

You can find your pairing on the website below and also posted in the hall on the pairing boards for your section, about 20-30 minutes before your game.

Please double-check your registration as we may not be able to correct registration mistakes once pairings have been posted.

The pairings for Round 1 will probably be posted on the display boards at the tournament and on this website about 20-25 minutes before the game.

 

CLICK HERE FOR SCHEDULES AND ROUND TIMES

Please sign up in person for Mixed Doubles team prizes (no extra charge) before BOTH players begin Round 2!

 

The deadline for locking in half-point byes, if you are requesting NOT to play a future round, is before you start Round 3 (no adding or taking back half-point byes after this).

After Round 3 starts, all requests for half-point byes will be treated as requests for zero-point byes. 

Please make all bye requests (either zero or half-point byes) at least one hour before your game.

 

When your game is over, please 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 adversely affect your pairings, rating and possible prize.

 Thank You!
