下彩棋 -- personal experiences ......
previously --
-- to play with some with 10-board system, at the end, paid for a good dinner including some viewers, i.e. no money to the winner(s).
Now in the planning stage (nothing to do with Bishan Xiangqi Club) --
1 -- to have say 8 players (so far I heard 3 bishan and 3 non-bishan) using round robin system. (total of 28 boards)
2 -- each one to pay $70 as registration fee. (total of $560)
3 -- at the end of the 28 games, each win will have $10 back, each draw will have say $3 back
4 -- the pool will have $280 or more for a good dinner after the end of 28 games
5 -- plan to start from mid Sep 2009 when the registration is closed, dinner before CNY as a gathering.
