Preregistration has been opened. Preregistration deadline is September 23rd 2016. Registration must be finalized on arrival or at least until 09:00 local time on the 01st of October. We would like to remind our guests that preparations are made based on the list of preregistered players. In the unlikely event of demand surpassing projections, preregistering players will have precedence over new comers. The risks and liabilities arising from not registering prior to October 01st 2016 rests solely on the players.

Attention: Preregistration is not equivalent to registering. It is required that preliminary registrants finalize their registration strictly before mentioned deadline.

Since otherwise the proceeding of the tournament schedule will be compromised, participants that do not show up on time on the first day of the tournament without prior notice will be dropped from the tournament.

Pre-registration form has been closed. See you at the tournament..
