The 2024 SC Scholastic Chess Championship is hosted at the Russell House, the student center of the University of South Carolina. Tournament play will take place on the second floor in Russell House Ballrooms A, B, and C.
The Russell House is open to the public and you can access the second floor through any entrance.
The Russell House Ballroom is split into three large playing areas accommodating hundreds of players.
Also located on the 2nd floor, the Russell House Theater is reserved as a breakout space for waiting parents, live broadcast of the tournament stream, and conducting awards ceremonies.
Because March 2, 2024 is the start of USC's spring break, due to staffing issues the University has announced that the dining options in the Russell House will be closed during the Tournament.
If you are planning to stay overnight on your visit, there are ample hotels in the downtown area. The Graduate Hotel has the distinction of being a walkable two-block distance from the tournament.
