Rapid games sit between blitz and classical chess: long enough to think, short enough to fit several rounds into one afternoon or evening. Here are the entries where a source mentions rapid play, from club evenings with rapid rounds to one-day opens organised by clubs in the city and the towns around it.
Each organiser sets its own time control and pairing system, and some rapid events count for a rating. The organiser's page linked on each card gives the format, the entry fee and the registration deadline when they are published. Check the date at the end of the line: a past edition keeps its own date until a newer one is announced.
