Which is one of the many reasons why we are going to become south dakota!
I played in it three times when I lived in Colorado. I qualified for this tournament by winning the High School State Scholastic Championships, but other states will just nominate someone. Find out who is the president of your state's chess association, and ask them how to qualify.

There are very, very hard people there.
Go in Mississippi maybe.
Rip Mississippi
mass Alabama to the list. Really any state that doesn’t have anyone above 2200 (altho Imma try to get 2200 at the Denker) competing for the nomination is where you wanna be, otherwise the titles players are gonna win it
Here is a link for the Denker. The states were supposed to send in their nominee by June 20, but there is a July 23 deadline if their initial nominee declined.

This link shows the nominated participants and whether or not they've confirmed.

The only unfortunate thing about that list is no one is playing for south dakota and I might become a South Dakota resident soon.

They caught both cheaters, but didn't change the standings for me

A tournament, winner takes all blitz tie break. but they did it online so I lost to a cheater and I didn't get first because of it, someone else went even though we should have had a sudden death (which I would have won, he is like 1200-1400 rated online) these factors amount others.

Actually we might become south dakota residents and the playing field there ain’t that good overall
