Tuesday Grand Prix! Response Needed

Attendance has fallen off for our Tuesday tournaments. I would like to change that! I am proposing a Grand Prix over the next 8 Tuesdays. You receive points based on your place in the tournament. After 8 tournaments I will add up the points and grant prizes accordingly.

Here are the points you receive based on your tournament performance.

1st = 5 Points

2nd = 4 Points

3rd = 3 Points

4th = 2 Points

5th = 1 Point

I will use chess.com tiebreaks if there are ties. I'm considering having a 2000 rating cutoff since the majority of the club is below 2000. I may also give an U1000 prize. 

I will decide prizes according to the interest and feedback I receive in this proposal. I am thinking of chess books, gift cards, a chess set, things like this.

Let me know if you'd participate in this. It's no different than showing up for a Tuesday tournament. Now your constant attendance would add up.

Keep calm and chess on
