      Congrats, Sylvain. For me, from a distance, it is interesting to watch your tournament unfold!

      SoCA (Society of Chess Aficionados) might do the same sort of thing :)

                Final crosstable is here: https://fqechecs.qc.ca/tournois/afficher.php?id=6335

                With 16 entries, and the six GM/IM free ($25 deducted from prize), and a $1,000 guaranteed prize fund, I calculate that if the remaining 10 players paid the minimum $38 entry fee...
                $380 collected; $925 given out. Not exactly a money maker.

                  Yep, that's exactly what we were interested in.

                  Hope it's something they can build from :)
