Hi all,

HOpe you had great long weekend. I am getting one or two enquiries about registering for The Bob and Gord Fall U2000 Active in Milton on Sept 30. Here are the details:

1. Etransfer the entry fee ($50 if received by Sep 24) to miltonchess@hotmail.com, (see post #1 for later entry fees)

2. In the etransfer, include in the message/ note section the following:
A .the name of the player as seen on the cfc website,
B. the cfc number,
C. a contact email, the one used for the etransfer since prize money will be paid out by etransfer.

Hope that helps, will try and update registration list soon. Remember, this is guaranteed minimum prize money!

Good to see some familiar names returning to a Bob and Gord tourney in Milton this year. Remember , your active rating must be under 2000 to play.

Hi all, just a reminder the entry fee is only $50 until Sep 24. Then it goes up to $60 until the 29th, then it goes up to $70 cash on site.
We have ten registered so far! Dont wait too long to register.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. There is a door code you need to punch in to get into the site on game day. I'll put up the door code later and on the first post.

I believe there is a farmers market taking place on game day near the tournament site, starting at 9 am. Part of Main street near the church will be cut off. I suggest you take Bronte St (it is called 1st line on Lower baseline road) , not Bronte Road, on the west side of Milton to get to the church and nearby parking if you are coming from the West or South. If you are coming from the 401 , take the hwy 25 exit and head south (name changes to Martin St.) Take a left on Main Street and your first right (Charles St), take first right onto Mary and there are parking lots there. St. Pauls Church is about a 5 minute walk from there.. There is free parking across the church on main street. Free parking on Mary st which runs parallel to Main Street by the church. Might I suggest that you dont plan to come at the last minute to avoid potential parking issues. Entry code to church is 01951.

Just added some more players to registration list. Entry fee goes up from $50 to $60 on May 25th to $60 until the 29th, then it is$70 cash on game day. Remember, guaranteed prize money in this tournament for under 2000 cfc rated players only. BUMP!

Hi all, just updating the registration list. The entry fee is only$50 if I receive it by Sep 24. See post one for more details.

Two points to remember:

1. THE PRIZE FUND OF $1000 IS GUARANTEED!

2. THIS PRIZE FUND IS A MINIMUM. There is a potential for the prize fund to go up!

[Bob Gillanders]

Gord and I are trying something a little different

One Section. only players with Quick rating U2000
Prizes widely distributed.
That gives everyone a chance to win.


Prizes:

1st: $300
2nd: $200
3rd: $125
4th: $75
5th: $50
1st U1800 $ 50
1st U1600 $ 50
1st U1400. $ 50
1st U1200. $ 50
1st U1000. $ 50

Total. $ 1,000

Where there are winners eligible for more than one prize, it can get complicated.
See section 11 Prizes of the CFC handbook for explanation.

I know I will be reviewing it before we distribute prizes.

Hi all, a couple of days remaining for the early registration price of $50 goes away. The time control is 25min with a 5 sec increment. Hope to see your name on the registration list soon.

[Gordon Gooding]

We are at 20 registered players so far. Can we get more? $50 entry fee if received by Sun Srpt 24, tick tock. I see some familiar names and some new ones. Don't expect those fresh homemade cupcakes from my wife at the end of the tournament like the last few times though, okay.

[Gordon Gooding]

Let's get it on! Dedicated prize fund for u2000 cfc rated players, it doesn't get better than that. Tick Tock. Great tourney for first time tournament players since you will be in the u2000 cfc rated group, there is only one group.
