    bumping up :)

    The pre-reg list started to fill up (so not online yet but heard that it is with IMs). The PDF flyer might be ready soon too. If I'm lucky I might come to the NAYCC to share/hang several :)

        One month to wait/go/prepare.

        The team works hard - we arranged that the second room would be available for skittles , analyzes, and parents. Sponsors liked what we did in summer and some returnt, and some new came.

        Details @ the AuCC website. Links above or below :)

            Pictures kindly provided by TD Graeme Knight, who updates regularly results at http://www.aurorachessclub.ca/?page_id=2893 The tournament has only four rounds and we tried it with accelerated pairings. Seems it worked :)

            FYI: during Summer Open it was quite busy though Graeme put results on the website almost after rounds' starts. We will do same and maybe include chess-results too.

              Just over a week to go until the late-fee applies for the Aurora Fall Open. We're looking forward to a great tournament and everything is ready to go! A quick reminder for those who'll attend: We'll have light refreshments during the tournament and chess sets will be provided. If you are playing, please bring a clock.

              Details @ http://www.aurorachessclub.ca/?page_id=2850
              Pre-reg list (w/ 31 player) @ http://www.aurorachessclub.ca/?page_id=2914

                After some rough calculations we arrived at the $4000 prize fund based on the same participation number (80) as during Summer Open. Almost 100% returned fees :)
                Of course sponsors cover a lot of other expenses.

                Thus, we just need to attract additional 47 more players. If your friend is not in the pre-reg list ( http://www.aurorachessclub.ca/?page_id=2914 ), get him/her into action :)

                  I highly recommend this tournament! The last one was a great success and it was pretty unbelievable that it was their first time running an open tournament. I wish I could play but unfortunately I have to sit this one out :(

                      Thnx, Geordie for good words.

                      The pre-reg list (http://www.aurorachessclub.ca/?page_id=2914 ) now is sorted into sections. Of course it is not final - more players will come and ratings will be updated.
                      Still several days to register and avoid late fees. Details about tournament http://www.aurorachessclub.ca/?page_id=2850
