Re: Congrats to Tanraj Sohal and Jason Cao
Entry fees for these types of events are usually in the $200-300 range.
Did the Canadian prize winners receive all of their prize, or did the IRS demand (and get) their cut? Supposedly, the Continental Chess Association witholds part of any prize over $800 if the winner cannot supply a US Social Security number (or something similar).

Re: Congrats to Tanraj Sohal and Jason Cao
If I remember correctly, after winning a big chunk of monies in the Under-Section in the US, the rating was adjusted to Section (+1). Is it still valid?
and congratulations to all winners.

It seems they have a lot of money to splash around.
I admit I am astonished at the prizes -especially for sections under 2000.

I also noticed that Owen Qian was clear second in the U1900 section. However, is he living in Québec, as it indicates on the USCF website, or in Ontario, as we can see on the CFC website?
