Hi chess fans, I am pleased to announce that registrations are opening for the 2011 Ottawa Winter Open, scheduled for January 14th-16th. The event details can be found at the weblink at the end of this post. The most important point to note as soon as feasible, is that players who pay in December will take advantage of a $30 triple-early discount! Since December can be a very busy month, I am not sure at this time just how many Thursday evenings I can make it out to the RA club to take payments in person. I expect to be there tonight, from about 7pm to 9pm, but for the rest of the month, if you want to be sure of getting the $30 discount, please feel free to mail in your registration and payment, as per the instructions at the end of the event details webpage.

N.B. for my next 3 tournaments :
THE FORFEIT TIME IS BEING REDUCED :
... for the Ottawa Winter Open, it will be only 30 minutes
... for the Ottawa Spring Open, it will be only 15 minutes
... for the Eastern Ontario Open, it will be only 5 minutes

Yours in chess,

- floater players help the TD guarantee no “forced byes”

--------- original event announcement ---------

The Eastern Ontario Chess Association (EOCA) organizes the EOCA Grand Prix, a series of weekend tournaments over the 2010-2011 chess season.

The next EOCA event in Ottawa is the Ottawa Winter Open, set for January 14th-16th. It will consist of 5 rounds, with flexible bye and discount options.

We are planning 5 sections (rated CFC, upper sections also rated FIDE), and prizes for every 200 rating points (last 3 Ottawa events averaged >$2700!)
