As a reminder, we have changed our reservation and charge policy at Piada. 

• We officially have room for 20 players.

• If you register on-site and the tournament was full, then the fee will be $10.

• If you register on-site and the tournament was not full, then the fee will be $20.

• If you are not one of the first 20 reservations, we will only add you to the tournament if Piada is not busy. That means that only the first 20 players who join the tournament are guaranteed to be in the tournament.

• Since the pairings for the first round may be have been done already, players who register on-site may be paired against each other in the first round.
