Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors there will be door prizes every round starting round 2. Winners must be in the tournament hall to win a door prize. Prizes range from gift certificates to shirts. Make sure you show up at least 5 minutes before each round. Round 1 Opening Ceremony starts 10:50am this Sunday.

Re: Door prizes every round (except round 1) at the Canadian Open
Noooo, this ruins my plans of being 5 minutes late for every round! -
Re: Door prizes every round (except round 1) at the Canadian Open
OH OH -- watch out for the FIDE forfeit rule :DOriginally posted by Lucas Davies View Post
Just kidding.
Anyway -- that is the idea -- get to the playing hall ON TIME and win a nice prize - each and every round -- and there are some really good prizes.
Be there for the opening ceremony too -- not to be missed!
Huge Announcement! Don't You Dare Miss It! :D
