NOTES
Tournament Directors will accelerate pairings to pair players close in rating when possible
Most recent "live" US Chess regular ratings used for all sections to ensure close matchups
SAC is a monthly tournament - the rating report is submitted on the last Sunday of the month, and a new event begins on the first Sunday of each month.
All players must use CCC equipment - weighted sets and digital clocks provided
Players who no-show forfeit without notice may not be permitted to play in future events.
