| (updated 2005-08-10) The prize fund at all Ware Chess Club sponsored events is 80% of the entry fee or higher, while most other tournament organizers have a lower percent as their prize fund. I can give the higher amounts only by getting a good number of entries at the tournaments, and by keeping my expenses low. A higher number of entries benefit the players as well as organizers. I am struggling to keep the prizes high by doing a massive amount of advertising. You can help me keep my expenses down by spreading the word about my tournaments, and by bringing extra copies of fliers with you to your club or to tournaments you enter. Also, please answer the questions at the bottom of the entry form so that I may cut the expense of ineffective advertising. Thank You.
