Our record prize fund, which if you add the $500 Armageddon prize, is over $4000. If someone goes 6-0, the prize fund will be over $5000. Not bad for a weekend event.
The 4th round started with 4 perfect scores. Mark Ginsburg and Belsar Valencia drew on board 2. Bitan Banerjee and Agnieszka Matra-Clement are battling on board 1 with perfect scroes.

Now up to 87 entries. With the $500 added to first prize, this puts the prize fund over $4000 and if someone wins the Fischer prize in the top section for a 6-0, then over $5000.
The 1st prize if someone had a 6-0 would be at least $2600. $1100 (1st) + $500 (Armageddon) + $1000 (Fischer)
Nov 7 at midnight is the deadline. No last minute entries, as we will be doing pairings in advance. Only 13 spots left

Only 22 spots left and last minute entries seem to be pouring in. We have just matched last years entries of 78. We will have a record prize fund for Banff Open, which now stands at $3500, with a potential $4500, if someone goes 6-0 and wins the $1000 Fischer prize. The entries seem to be coming in faster now, so first come first serve, but I will let you know quickly when we reach 100.
Also if we reach 100 entries, we get another $100 added to prize fund from SoCA.

We are now up to 65 advanced entries with 8 players rated over 2300. Ian Zhao has now become a FM and the Alberta Open Champion since our last update and is now the number 2 seed!
If any IM's or GM's are interested in playing, there is still one room left at the site, that I can get for a special rate (email me at ianfindlay2314@gmail.com ). Don't forget you cannot enter at the site. Entries close at midnight November 7 or when 100 players have entered. Here are some reasons to enter now
** Strongest field ever
** Largest prize fund ever
** Our tournament room this year is the prestigious ball room., where the Banff Midsummer's Ball is held each year
** Dinner reception at the President's Mansion on Sunday Nov 10, is the best chess party in North America.
