I have never played in a rated live tournament before, so I have no rating. Can I join anyway? If so, which rating level should I choose?

Sorry, but we can’t allow unrated players to compete in our class sections. There are other events around the valley — try the Chess Emporium on 32nd Street and Shea on Friday Nights, as well as Bookman’s in Mesa for rated games… Thanks!

Can I go to the tournament and use the ticket for free entry and register?

when I try to register online, the process jams during Paypal. Do I need to redo the registration.
