We now have over 40 players registered, I believe mainly due to the early-bird discounts being offered. Please note that the current discount level is such that if you register and pay before the weekend of the tournament, that you can take advantage of the $10 September discount. This will drop to $5 for players who register by email but pay onsite before the first round. There is no discount for players who would prefer to both register and pay onsite.
As for my attendance at the RA club on Thursday evenings, here are my plans :
- September 24th: I expect to be there from 7pm to 1130pm (also playing)
Traditionally, many local players register on the Thursday evening before the weekend event, therefore on Friday I will repost the list of expected players.
For your information, here again is the latest list of players already registered :
