July looks like a very busy month for the library and myself. The first Saturday is closed for the holiday, and the second Saturday is the book sale in the basement, which would make our lives pretty hard.
That being said, the last 2 Saturdays of the month I will be playing in USCF tournaments myself. Feel free to join me in Chicago for the Class Championships or in Indy on the 25th for the free rated event at the library.

I did get a room reservation on August 15th at our library for our next Mock Rated event, though. I will include all of the details below.
Location: Crawfordsville Library in Meeting Room D.
Registration ends at 10:30 so that we have time to go over rules, so get there ASAP (the library opens at 10).
This is just a mock tournament, so no entry fee or sign up required.
We will be following the same rules as a typical USCF rated event (with more leniency). I will go over the rules before the first round, so if you’re interested, just show up the day of, and we will find someone for you to play!
If at all possible, please bring a board set with pieces and a clock. We have quite a few, but bring em if you have em just to be safe.
We’ll be doing 4 rounds of 25+5 time control with the following (approximate) round times:
Round 1: 11am
Round 2: 12pm
LUNCH BREAK until 2pm
Round 3: 2pm
Round 4: 3pm
I expect the event to wrap up between 3:45 and 430pm. If for whatever reason you can play some rounds, but not all, feel free to let me know onsite that day or you can message me here. If anyone has any other questions you can reach out here or email me at jacob@cvillechess.org
Thanks!
