    I am pleased to announce that IM Mark Ginsburg CFC rating 2397 has just announced he will be coming back to defend his title.

    1) Please note, we 100 entries is our cutoff, due to space restraints. We have about 25 spots open, so please register ASAP if you intend to play. If you are registered and cannot play, please inform me immediately as you may be taking up someone else's spot.

    2) Please also note, our prize fund will increase, the more entries we get. If we project conservatively 80 entries, with an average entry fee of $35 conservatively, then we will have a prize fund of $2800 + $800 from sponsors - $3600 prize fund ($500 of which is a bonus added 1st prize and will be played off in the event of a tie. If we receive 100 entries, then the prize fund should be over $4000. Also 1st prize will be at least $1000 (including $500 bonus).

      Unfortunately, hurricane Michael's path is being projected to go through the state of Georgia where these bobbleheads are coming from.

        We are now up to 86 players, with only a few days left to pre-register. 100 player max. Registration closes Thursday. Once again a shout out to our great sponsors the ACA, Cupe Local 4318, our anonymous donor to our 1st price of $500 and SoCA, who have donated the epic bobbleheads.

        Next year we plan to increase the prize fund even more (by increasing entry fees), and making this one of the biggest tournaments in Canada, not just in Banff. This will be the last year that it is in one section. With this many players, there is a high probability of an Armageddon playoff for the donor's $500. The tournament should be exciting.
