The Charlotte US Masters will be held from November 23rd to November 27th in Charlotte, North Carolina, as a 9-round Swiss. Holders of USCF or FIDE titles will be vying for a share of the $20,000 prize pool. Despite the tournament's name, international players are eligible to play alongside their US counterparts.

Thanksgiving season is a time of prosperity for US chess, with many events taking place simultaneously or in succession. Notably, the NC Open, and an elite blitz event to warm up before the classical slugfest.

Time control is 90 minutes for the entire game with a 30-second increment beginning from move 1.
