     The NCC Fall Classic chess tournament is being held in Nashville, TN on Saturday, December 11 and Sunday, December 12, 2004. This two-day event is organized by the Tennessee Chess Association and is sanctioned by the USCF.

     The tournament will be a five round Swiss format. The three rounds on Saturday start at 10am, 2:30pm and 7pm. The two rounds on Sunday start at 9am and 1:30pm. The games are under a time control, with each player having 90 minutes to complete their first 35 moves. If more time is needed to complete the game, the time control goes into a 30 minute sudden-death.

     To enter the event it is not necessary for you to have a rating in either the USCF or the TCA. However, membership in both organizations is required. A one-year USCF membership can be purchased for as low as $36 and TCA membership costs $10 per year. These memberships can be paid for the day of the tournament or beforehand.

     The cost to enter the tournament is $15 if you pre-register by Dec. 6 or $20 on the day of the event.
