Our club features a room for casual play (skittles) that many players enjoy. There are boards and clocks for twenty-four players.


Here, anything goes! Play untimed games, blitz games, bughouse, or analyze your tournament games, whatever you like.


Our skittles room is available to any tournament member, casual member, and any current student for fun, enjoyable play after their classes.


Our skittles room opens at 6:30 and closes at roughly 11:30.


Skittles Etiquette (yes, even fun has some rules)


  • Be an ambassador! Make yourself available to play anyone, especially people you don't recognize: they might be new members!
  • Enjoy yourself, but please keep the noise down!
  • Tournament players should avoid the skittles room while their games are in play, but are welcome to visit before and after their games.
  • Tidy up after yourself. Put garbage, empty cups, etc. in the garbage bin provided..
  • If you're leaving after 10:30 p.m., please box up your pieces before you go.
  • If you're leaving after 11:00 p.m., please also put your chair in the chair caddy.


You can pay for a single night for $12, and an annual membership is $110.
