This gives us a total of 94 Players in the two events.
Compared to 61 total last year. It looks like the Badger Open is on the rebound! Players are coming from Iowa, Michigan, and Illinois to play in Wisconsin.
Thanks to all who are coming, Jim Nickell tells me I won't be getting fired as the Badger Open Organizer for next year.

Late entries can still email me at the addresses below:
avugames@netzero.com

Looks like a Class B heavy tournament!
Yeah, with all them their B players, there should be like many more B prizes this time
I do not believe that the Flyer indicates what the Class prizes are, just that they will be made based on the entries. I assume that means entries per class, but I guess it might mean entries per the whole tournament. The tournament TD would have to answer that question.
Hi Greg,
I noticed your latest post at our blog regarding taking email entries yet for the Badger Open. Are you still accepting email entries at the $35 rate or has that changed to $40 now ? Also, for your information, I have moved the Badger Open up to the top listing on the Southwest Chess Club Blog. We will keep it there throughout the weekend, so feel free to update whenever you can. Have a great tournament !!

Thanks!
Greg
Will there be blitz Friday night?
Waukesha chess club has a new look to their website! www.waukeshachessclub.org
Quick update from Day 1:
Troy Zimmermann has been on a roll. He drew John Becker in round1 and then beat Anthony Parker and Kelly Borman. Tough 1st day opponents, getting 2 1/2 points was awesome!!!!

B Smail 3
W Williams 2.5
B Endsley 2.5
R Jayne 2.5
