          Steve,

          U1600 section entry fee is $15 at the door, but only $10 if you register in advance.
          This section is really inexpensive because there are no cash prizes.

          CFC membership dues = $48 /year for adults, $30/year for juniors.
          Instead of paying for an annual CFC memberships, the CFC tournament fee is an option,
          adult $20, Junior $10 (but it's only good for the 1 tournament)

          We are looking forward to seeing some new faces!

          Bob

                    We are just a month away now, please send in email to pre register.
                    We can do a pre register list once we have a critical mass.

                        Our last event in August had just over 60 players. The one before that had 83 and the one before that had just over 70.

                            Nothing new here folks. I am just shamelessly promoting the tournament by bumping the thread to top of the page.

                            Gary, Magnus, and Judit have not preregistered yet. (Just in case anyone heard otherwise). :D
