Sadhuvenkata/Gandhe Tournament

For those of you who don’t know, we actually have an Instagram page though it is sadly run by me.  Fortunately, Vahini has decided to take over and at this she is way more competent than I.  Inspired by a little typo (she is good but not perfect, shucks, she is human like the rest of us), we will be running a rather unusual tournament this Friday the 24th.  I figured since Vahini could inspire it but not attend it; her sister Roshini (along with Shrena Gandhe) could design it.

As you might expect from two young players, it leans towards beginners.  Upon further discussions the girls also wanted the sections to be named after girls involved in this in some way.  Thus, each section will be named after one of the girls.  The sections are as follows: Coralie – Under 200, Shrena – Under 400, Samika – Under 600, Roshini – Under 1000, and Vahini – Open sections.  All sections will be 3 rounds of G/25, d5, and I would strongly expect the 3 lowest sections to be done by about 9.   As for prizes there will be $50 for the Open.  The rest will have trophies, t-shirts, a ring (from Crown Awards, not Cartier), and LEGOS!

We will see if we can have a fun surprise or two, something so that we can give Vahini plenty of material for her instagraming (is that an actual verb?)

For one more fun bonus the entry fee is just $10.

Our “resident” 1800 is unavailable this Friday, making this the perfect time for the 1000 – 1400 to come out and try to win money in the Open section.
