Questions

Asked often.

Do I need to bring my own set to a chess tournament?

In the US, often yes: many scholastic and open events ask players to bring a set, board and clock. At most FIDE-rated events and in much of Europe, the organiser provides them. Check the event details before you go.

Why do players keep scorebooks?

Most rules require you to record your moves in slow games. A scorebook keeps them together, so you can analyse them later and see your progress over a season.
