  • Ontario Open 2015

    I was approached by Ilia Bluvshtein (OCA president) at the Kitchener ChessFest to remind me that the Ontario Open is scheduled for SWOCL region in 2015. Under OCA regulations, the region has until October 1st to submit an acceptable bid to the OCA for approval. Hopefully, OCA will continue with its sponsorship of $500. If no regional bids are submitted by Oct 1st, then the process is opened up to all Ontario organizers province wide.

    Last year the Oct 1st deadline was ignored and subsequently GTCL officials were in crisis mode to find an organizer to host the Ontario Open on its traditional dates, Victoria Day (or May24) weekend. In 2015, that weekend will be May 16-18, 2015.

    I recommend we avoid the embarrassment that GTCL suffered this year.

    I would like to hear from any SWOCL region organizers interested in hosting the Ontario Open 2015 ASAP. Please send me an email, thanks.
