Still time to enter the Illinois Open and Scholastic!

(Counts on fingers) 119 players have preregistered for the Championship and 48 preregistered for the Scholastic: nice!

Haven't registered yet? Online registration is closed, but please come to the DoubleTree in Oak Brook: you can still register at the door!

For the three-day schedule, be there before 11:30 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday 9/3/11: the entry fee is a reasonable $90. If you register after 11:30, the price goes up to $100.

For the two-day schedule, be there before 10:30 Sunday 9/4/11: the entry fee is again $90. If you register after 10:30, the price goes up to $100.

If you are rated under 1799 and playing in the Open Section (a good thing to do for ambitious players rated above 1600, but probably a bit much for the rest of us), there's a surcharge of $10.

If you are registering for Saturday's scholastic event, be at the site before 10:30: the price is $30 cheap. After 11:30 a.m., $35.

U.S. Chess Federation membership is required for these events. You can join or renew online or onsite.

And don't forget the beautiful boards, sets, clocks, and scoresheets that are being provided for the main event :)
