Ottawa Spring Open: $30 discount ending
Hi again, please note that the $30 triple-early January discount expires tomorrow, in other words, Monday, January 31st. Therefore, to still take advantage of it, please mail your payment as early as possible in the day, to catch the January postmark. Please note that if you pay and then change your mind, you would just have to tell me before I start the pairings onsite, and I would gladly defer your payment to one of my future tournaments. We currently have 40 players registered (listed later in this post), and about another dozen players whom I am emailing with, but who have not yet made their final decision.
Yours in chess,
Aris Marghetis, FIDE Arbiter
