Players can register for the Stellenbosch 2nd Quarter Handicap Tournament now by e-mailing Hugo van der Merwe. It is a Swiss tournament in which the pairings are chosen to minimize the maximum handicap each round. (Last quarter had 13 entries evenly spread over 4k to 30k, which resulted in 4 games with >=9H.)
The entry fee for the tournament is R15, with a R10 discount for SAGA members or players who join SAGA before the tournament, payable by 19 April. R5 from each entry fee will be used as prize money. (Note that SAGA charges R80/R35/R20 for normal/student/scholar membership for 2006, providing discounts on e.g. books and tournaments for the rest of the year.)
Prize money will be split evenly between all players obtaining 3 wins in the tournament, so, the more the merrier! The winner with the highest SOS (or SOSOS if needed) will still be named the winner of the tournament.
