Although these events are free (and without prizes), the ACTCA would still like to recognise your achievements in these tournaments. I have started sending out prize certificates for the top 3 finishers in these tournaments. If you have finished in the top 3 and have yet to receive an email, it is probably because I do not have your current email address. If you have finished in the top 3 (including equal 3rd), please email me (Shaun Press) and I will send a certificate to you.
