The EOCA (Eastern Ontario Chess Association) is pleased to announce the next event of our 2011-2012 Grand Prix, the 2012 Ottawa Spring Open. Last year, this tournament hit a prize fund of $2600, and we are working hard to reach at least as much this year. Also, with over 60 players last year, we are planning for 4 sections this year (with different rating cutoffs than last year), which should ensure 5 great games for everyone, regardless of skill level.

2 other key points :

1) Registrations/payments by the end of March, take advantage of the $30 triple-early discount. So far, I expect to drop by the RA club this Thursday.

2) We are changing our floater mechanism. If you are onsite and are interested in playing a free game, ask me, and if that section has an odd number for that round, I will try to get you in, with or without current CFC membership. We need all levels of floaters, and preferences will be given for multiple rounds.

Yours in chess,

Aris Marghetis, IA/IO
