Dear Grandmasters/masters/instructors/competitors,

Through this letter the first update for the “Open Dutch” Championships which will be on the 18th of January 2015 in Best, Netherlands. (closing date 5th of January, be aware of the Christmas holiday’s!) Important is to make clear that nobody can enter anymore after the closing date! This because draws will be made in advance and put on the Open Dutch website. So it means that if competitors are over their registered height or weight on the day of the competition he or she can not take part at the item of the competition! So coaches check the children’s height or weight! So that they not get disappointed at the day of the tournament!

The organization announce that we found Master Coos van de Heuvel from the Netherlands available to do the job as head umpire. With his experience at EC and WC will that not a problem.

This year we have again the tournament into 2 hall’s like previous year.

We found Master Harry Vones (ITF-Germany) available to check everything with electronic scoring system and draws.

We have the honour that Grandmaster Wim Bos (Chairman of the International Competition Course) is again present at our tournament with the Italian delegation. My Slovenian friend Tomaz Barada also a colleague of the IIC committee is present too.

On this link you go to the tournament website: www.open-dutch.nl or go to our Facebook pagina: Open Dutch Championships 2015. This year we have of course a nice t-shirt for all winners in the A-category.

 

But we have now also a t-shirt for those who like to buy it as a souvenir from the tournament. This can only through order in advance, for details look to the website.

Hope to see you all in January.

Master Willy van de Mortel
