Re: Registrations to-date 2011 Canadian Open and Quebec Open

The reason for the large difference in the number of entries: the Quebec Open has no price increase until July 1 and also has on-site registration - whereas the Canadian Open registration cutoff date is June 30 - no entries accepted after that date.

Re: Registrations to-date 2011 Canadian Open and Quebec Open

Hi Larry,

I noticed there a bunch of 1600, 1700 and 1800 level players registered in Open section for Canadian Open. Does this mean players can play in any section they want? Thanks in advance.

I reserved my room at the hotel yesterday. They have already run out of rooms with two double beds by the way.

I would like to say that I will not be playing the Quebec Open due to the World Junior

Hi Larry,

I doubt that 2400-players can play in a class section.

Were it mine to decide, I'd ask higher entry fees for low-rated players in the championship section. They do dilute the chances of norms and intensify the yo-yo syndrome. That's what they do in the Quebec Open. When I played there, I had the choice of paying a stiff fee to play in the Championship section (because my FIDE rating, which was the basis for calculating the fee, was, ah, accurate), or else play a low fee for the second section and then face possible complaints of "what's that guy doing in our section?" (because my FQE rating, which they would use in that section, was, ah, complimentary).

OTOH, the Canadian Open tradition is different.

They can play up and play with the GMs for the Open prizes or play against their peers for the class prizes. This was announced in some of the original posts on this topic.
