To participate in the Finals, players must qualify by earning an invitation in one of the qualifying events held throughout the year at the club. Entry fee for the Finals is $2. The Finals will be USCF rated, but the quailifying events will not, so players must be USCF members in good standing in order to play in the championship Finals.

All games must be contested at the normal meeting of the ChessNuts Chess Club. Entrants will be permitted to play one additional round per week to allow for flexible scheduling. Missed games will be counted as forfeit losses if not completed during the next regular meeting of the ChessNuts Club, or special arrangement made with the TD. All games for the qualifying event must be completed on the final week of the schedule. Weeks that the ChessNuts Club does not meet are not counted toward the tournament schedule.
