World Senior Individuals, Bled, November 2018
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2018 5:06 pm
The closing date for registrations is one month from today (17 September).
Arrival date is 17 November, 11 rounds 18-29 November (free day on the 24th).
Play starts 3pm for rounds 1-10 but unlike previous years it is 10am for Round 11.
Contrary to what the website says, there isn't an online entry form and it is not necessary to use the messy Excel file on offer.
(That's only really for federations submitting multiple entries.)
What they need is your name, Federation, FIDE ID, hotel preference, date of birth and tournament you are entering; also (f known) dates of arrival and departure, and details of any accompanying persons.
Transfer requests can be made later if you are not sure of travel arrangements yet.
Your name will go up on the entry list once they receive your money (150 euro per player and for hotel deposit 150 Euro per person).
Just send your details to [email protected] and if you have any queries before entering, I found that chief organiser Georg Mohr will reply promptly in English.
Payment information is at http://wscc2018.european-chessacademy.c ... structions.
Entries from our part of the world so far:
WOMEN 50+ Petra Fink-Nunn (also Helen Milligan NZL but formerly SCO)
WOMEN 65+ Dinah Norman
OPEN 50+ Terry Chapman, Rosemary Giulian (SCO), Owen Phillips, and Hassan Erdogan (ENG, unrated by FIDE)
OPEN 65+ Philip Giulian and Douglas Mckerracher and Jim Webster (all SCO); Kenneth Norman, Brian Hewson, Ian D.W. Reynolds, William Ingham, David Bray (ENG, unrated by FIDE), and myself.
