Your chance to gain cheap entry to ......
...... the fifth BRISTOL OPEN!
SATELLITE EVENING, with added money!
on Thursday, August 5th,
at 7.00pm at the BCSC.
The fifth BRISTOL OPEN, a weekend tournament with an ever increasing international reputation, is being held over the weekend of August 20th to 22nd at the Artillery Grounds, Whiteladies Road, Bristol.
So here is a chance to earn your passage into the start list by winning a tournament (known as a Qualifier or Satellite) where the entry fee will be a mere fraction of the entry for the Bristol Open itself.
Subject to demand, there will be at least one knock-out event feeding the top two categories at the Bristol Open, where entry plus registration amounts to £200 for the Championship category and £75 for the Advanced category.
We will be looking for eight entrants for each satellite, and adding 20% of the total value from the 2010 Bristol Open budget.
In the Championship, for example, the eight satellite entrants will pay an entry fee of £20 each, with the remaining £40 paid for by the Bristol Open itself!
Each Championship Satellite will consist of a single flight of straight knock-out, where the matches will be to 9 points.
Similarly each Advanced Satellite will consist of a single flight of straight knock-out, where the matches will be to 7 points, the eight players paying £7.50 each for their entry, with the additional £15 funded by the Bristol Open.
To be absolutely sure of your place in one of these qualifiers, phone Ian Tarr on 07940 284652, or email him.
Our standard tournament rules apply (including the Crawford Rule);
Tournament Director's decisions are final.
Hoping to see you there!
If you have a board, please bring it!
