    Hello Halldor,

    Your announcement on the FQE site is live. Hope the RA March Open gets some extra players from l'Outaouais or Montreal.

    This entry currently occupies premium real estate on the FQE's front page, just below the fold. While announcements of other tournaments will eventually push it further down, it will stay visible and searchable.
