Know Before You Pay

C · Mixed on paper45/100

Middling, or thinly published. Check how many of the four terms facts this organizer actually put on the record before reading anything into the figure.

Grade components

Value for money26.3 / 52.6
Terms and transparency18.6 / 47.4

Cost and terms only, on a wider cost band and lower letter bands. Adult players enter themselves, so there are no scouts to publish and no bracket to advance to — an exposure score would separate nothing and the grade is clearer without it.

How this is calculated

How much of this is published

Thinly published0 of 4

Almost nothing is published, so the grade sits near the midpoint of every range by default. Read it as "unknown", not as "average".

The four gradeable facts are the entry fee, the refund policy, the hotel requirement and the guaranteed game count. Anything the organizer leaves out is priced at the middle of its range rather than counted against them — most operators quote on application, and a grade that punished silence would be reporting our own missing data as their failing.

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Organizers may answer a review in public, and their responses are labelled and shown. They are excluded from every average, count and return rate here, so an operator cannot move their own rating.

What to expect

The governing body's national championship, nine days in San Diego across amateur age and rating brackets with a professional draw alongside. Amateur entry into most brackets is by qualification through the operator's tournament series; the junior championships, filed separately here, are not. Only the amateur competition is in this index. No amateur entry fee is published on the championship page, so none is recorded; the junior fee is, and is on the junior listing.

The GameVoyaGrade above is published from this event’s own cost, terms and exposure, so it stands without reviews. The Attendee Rating does not: if you were there, yours would be the first and it would carry real weight.

This is the Attendee Rating — the half of a listing we cannot work out ourselves. It is filed by people who were at the event: coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts. Organizers cannot file one, and the GameVoyaGrade never reads reviews at all.
