Take I-75 to the Sharon Road exit (exit 15, the first exit south of I-275), and exit west onto Sharon Road. Turn right onto the first street, Chester Road. Princeton High School is on the west side of Chester Road (on your left). Proceed on Chester Road past the school and turn left onto Lippelman Road, then turn left to enter the school property and turn left again to reach the parking area. Please enter the building at Door 30 (north of the high school main entrance).

FOOD AVAILABILITY

We will publish information about the availability of food onsite nearer to the time of the tournament. Participants may bring their own food and snacks. Remember that players are permitted to have only bottled water with them in the playing rooms. Please note that tournament participants (players, parents, others) are asked not to consume food in the “Grid” (the main skittles area). Please be conscientious about this, as Princeton is a great venue for us, and we do not want to lose the privilege of using it. Alternatively, several restaurants are located in either direction on Kemper Road, one block north of the school.
