RA Fall Open (FIDE & CFC): CMA kiosk & registrations update
Hi again, I am pleased to announce that Brad Thomson from the Ottawa Strategy Games store is planning to run a Chess&Math kiosk at the upcoming RA Fall Open. He will be there from about 12noon on the Saturday for the rest of that day, set up in the skittles room next door to the playing room. If there is anything that you would like him to bring, please feel free to contact him at the Ottawa store, (613) 565-3662, or via email: thomson at chess-math dot org
Please find below the list of players registered so far, which is already almost at 30. Many thanks to the players who have already registered by email, and are sending their payments in now. I really appreciate not registering most folk at the last minute!
On that note, I will be at the RA club tonight, August 28th, from about 7pm to 8pm, and next Thursday, September 4th, from 7pm onward, to take local registrations and payments. If you were planning on registering/paying at the RA, please feel free to come tonight, as next week, being the first week of the RA club 2008-2009 season, it's usually very busy! And regardless of which week you come, feel free to email me beforehand to save us time.
P.S. Would anyone know how I could get in touch with Doug Burgess and Terry Fleming? If yes, please reply privately: arismarghetis at rogers dot com

--------- original event announcement ---------
The EOCA is pleased to announce the first event of the 2008-2009 EOCA Grand Prix, the RA Fall Open. It is scheduled this year for the weekend after Labour Day. My plan is to spend lots of time with the family on the holiday weekend, thus earning time away to run the tournament the weekend after! :)
Back to the event details, to start this new season, the Top (>=2000) section will now be rated FIDE. In addition, regular participants from past EOCA events will notice that the prize fund is getting chunkier. We're still working on potential sponsorship, but even without that, we should exceed $3000.
On top of that, I used to offer discounts for GM and IM, and now there are also discounts for FM, and for the female equivalents: WGM, WIM, and WFM.
We are also happy to announce that we have formed a partnership with the Crowne Plaza Hotel for those of you who need a place to stay. If you are indeed interested in taking advantage of the rate we negotiated ($100! off their regular weekend rate), I recommend you reserve as soon as you can.
For complete details for this event, and a great webpage to bookmark for all of the events in the 2008-2009 EOCA Grand Prix, please go to this weblink:
