  • Eastern Ontario Open: remaining registration options

    Hi there, please excuse this short post, but I have to leave for work within 15 minutes, and I will be posting more completely later tonight or early tomorrow morning, including the list of players already registered, etc. As of this minute, we are at 64 players and $2700.

    I am not playing at the RA chess club tonight, but if someone really wants to pay there tonight, Stijn has graciously offered to take your cash. He will then text me, and I could drop by the RA between 9pm and 10pm, on the way to pick up my son from his work shift.

    The last-minute entry fees are now $90 for non-Amateur, and $60 for Amateur. RA chess club members deduct $5 from either. There are no other discounts still available to take.

    The last registration option will be onsite on Friday evening. I hope to be onsite by 5pm, to set up, and I will do first pairings at 645pm sharp. The earlier you come to pay the better, and please feel free to email me beforehand to advise me that you intend to come and pay.

    If you only want to start playing as of round 2, you still need to be paid up by the end of Friday evening, as I do the pairings for round 2 before I go home to sleep after round 1.

    Bye for now, and look later for my reply to this post with the list of registered players.

    Re: Eastern Ontario Open: remaining registration options

    Here is the latest list of registered players. The ratings have been updated as per the June 9th rating list, which has caused some players to change sections. Please confirm.

    N.B. As this event occurs after the end of the University school year, travelling players can get great deals to stay in the residences of Carleton University, which is a convenient walking distance from the playing site. It is not right next door, but close enough, and includes free breakfasts!

    ( Regarding this year's Canadian Open in Toronto, I am looking forward to assisting Hal Bond as one of his arbiters. This will be about a month after the Eastern Ontario Open, for which I am the Organizer/TD. From my own personal viewpoint, I would like to somehow tie these events together, and get as many players as possible from Eastern Ontario to join the Canadian Open. So, I am offering a special discount for players at the Eastern Ontario Open, where you can register with me for the Canadian Open for only $185 (the current rate is $195) [without impact to the Eastern Ontario Open prize fund] !! )

    Yours in chess,

    Aris Marghetis, FIDE Arbiter
    Organizer/TD, EOCA President

    Please note that we are looking for up to 4 floater players :
    - floater players help the TD guarantee no “forced byes”
    - floater players are paired and rated like all the players
    - floater players play for free, but under some conditions :
    ----- they play in 0 to 5 rounds, depending on byes by all the players
    ----- they can be phoned/texted in the hour before every single round
    ----- they have a current CFC membership by the time of first pairings
    if you are interested in being a floater player for this event, please apply by email

    --------- original event announcement ---------

    The Eastern Ontario Chess Association (EOCA) organizes the EOCA Grand Prix, a series of weekend tournaments over the 2009-2010 chess season.

    The next EOCA event in Ottawa will be the Eastern Ontario Open, on June 11th-13th. It will consist of 5 rounds, with flexible bye and discount options.

    We are planning 4 sections (rated CFC, Top Section also rated FIDE), and prizes (2010 average > $2600) for every 200 rating points (U2400 to U1600).
