The number of players is more than 40 and less than 60 .....we have decided to close the registration except those who have placed the reservation with me to be cleared within this week.
Previously, we plan to have up to 9 individual prizes for 40 players, now we plan to have 5 more prizes for individuals if possible.
Regarding the team event, will revert later.
If you have read the Bishan 简讯 (32) , .....prize giving at 9 pm on 2 Mar .
you may notice that we even wanted to close the registration for 2008 Bishan Cup on 27 Feb 2008 and the prize giving to be held on 25 Jun 2008 during Bishan Xiangqi Club 6th Anniversary Celebration due to the uncertainty of the number of trophies.
Now the registration is closed and we confirm to have the prize giving after Round 9 on 2 Mar 2008 from 9 PM.
Regarding the special prizes for 会员奖2名, 分区奖2名 and 分龄奖2名, we are looking into the allocation method proposed for 2006 Bishan Cup (Central Singapore). In general, we may allocate one prize for every 5 players of each group but up to 2 prizes per group. The Top 8 may or may not counted in the allocation.
We will release the details, latest before the start of Round 1 on 1 Mar 2008.
By the way, I have asked the supplies to work out the cost of up to 24 to 26 trophies including the tokens for up to 2 teams now.
May be the same trophy designs for 2007 Bishan Internal Competition (prize giving on 13 Feb 2008 during Bishan Xiangqi Club CNY Gathering) will be used again in 2008 Bishan Cup.
