Hi chess friends, the 1st round of the Ottawa Winter Open will be this Friday, and there are a couple of important points to note between now and then :
1) As I am working out-of-town for most of Thursday, there will be no registrations taken at the RA chess club that evening. So in order to be fair, any registrations/payments made onsite on Friday, will benefit from Thursday prices, which are $10 less. Please email me if you intend to register/pay onsite!
2) I had announced that ratings/sections could be adjusted, as appropriate. So in the interest of ensuring fairness in going for our larger cash prizes, on Friday, I will check everyone for an established FIDE rating. If that is higher than their CFC Regular rating, then their rating/section will be per FIDE rating.
