This is the youngest of the four tournaments and the one with the smallest number of participants. 2014 was the first time, with a total of ten people. In the past, the hosting rights were auctioned, but now the St. Louis Club has a monopoly.
Ten girls are basically invited from top to bottom according to their ratings. Only if someone gives up her spots, candidates will be chosen from below. Occasionally there will be a wildcard because someone has a last minute withdraw.
Almost all the participants are above 2,000. The tournament is a single round robin system, using blitz for tiebreaking.
