                    Last call before price goes up tomorrow.

                    We have 6 titled players so far in the top section.

                    Less than 3 weeks to go.

                        Thanks Henry for your kind words. We always try our best in all our tournaments. Sorry to miss you last weekend for Ontario Open.

                        We are closing on 100 players now.

                        Hope to reach 110-120 by end of this weekend. Our target is 150 players.

                        We have 18 players in the top section and half of them are titled players. Looks like it is interesting to watch the games again ( similar to Ontario Open ).

                        2 weeks to go.

                          yes I was hoping to play the Ontario open but something came up so I was unavailable.

                          my rating may go above 1650 before the tournament I will see if so I may play up into u2000

                          and we will see an updated list this weekend yes? thanks Gary

                            Hi Henry, yes you may if you surpass 1650.

                            There will be an update list by tomorrow.

                            Please take note our entry fee is going up after May 27, 2019 ( 2 days from now )

                            Entry fees (May 27, 2019 deadline): Championship $114 | U-2000 $114 | U-1750 $114 | U-1500 $114 | U-1250 $80 | U-1000 $60 | U-750 $60 | GM, FM & IM $89

                            Less than 2 weeks before tournament begins.

                              We have surpassed 120 players now.

                              First time we have so many players registered in the top section with more than 20 players at the moment ( around 25 ). Seems like this section has the most players at the moment.

                              Entry fee going up after tonight. Still time to register before price goes up.

                              Entry fees (May 27, 2019 deadline): Championship $114 | U-2000 $114 | U-1750 $114 | U-1500 $114 | U-1250 $80 | U-1000 $60 | U-750 $60 | GM, FM & IM $89

                              Our target is 150 players for the tournament. About 25 players to go now. At least $ 7,400 prize money will be awarded.

                              About 10 days to go before tournament begins.
