Time control: 40/105 + G/30 + 30 sec increment from start Note: if numbers warrant, the tournament will be run as a sectional; i.e., in two or more sections, determined by the ratings of the players.

Forfeits: Players are required to play all five rounds unless they have declared byes beforehand, as indicated above. Unless they have declared a bye for a particular round, as indicated above, players who do not show up for a game will be forfeited for that game, i.e., they will earn a score of zero for the game and their opponent will earn a score of one point for the game. Also, a player is expected to show up on time for the start of the round, as a courtesy to their opponent. If a player does not show up within an hour after a game starts, the player will be forfeited for that round, i.e., they will earn a score of zero for the game and their opponent will earn a score of one point for the game. Forced byes: In rounds where there is an uneven number of players, a full-point, <a href="https://support.chess.com/article/1310-what-is-a-bye-in-a-tournament">forced bye</a> will be given to one player, as determined by the pairing software. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">*** Note: In addition to paying the tournament entry fee stated above, to participate in the tournament a player must be a member of the Chess Federation of Canada (CFC).

This is so that Ken knows they are on site and able to play and that he has time to do the pairings and start the first round on time, for everyone’s benefit. Please follow the rules. Note: If you expect to be late on the Friday of the tournament, then between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. you MUST contact Ken by email (skcashin@outlook.com) or cell phone or text (902 478-2359) to let him know.

Forfeits: Players are required to play all five rounds unless they have declared byes beforehand, as indicated above. Unless they have declared a bye for a particular round, players who do not show up for a game will be forfeited for that game, i.e., they will earn a score of zero for the game and their opponent will earn a score of one point for the game. Players who do not show up for their games will be automatically withdrawn from the tournament.   Also, a player is expected to show up on time for the start of the round, as a courtesy to their opponent. If a player does not show up within an hour after a game starts, the player will be forfeited for that round, i.e., they will earn a score of zero for the game and their opponent will earn a score of one point for the game.   Forced byes: In rounds where there is an uneven number of players, a full-point, <a href="https://support.chess.com/article/1310-what-is-a-bye-in-a-tournament">forced bye</a> will be given to one player, as determined by the pairing software.    <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">*** Note: This tournament is subject to the <a href="https://www.chessns.ca/nsca-fair-play-and-electronic-device-policy/">Chess Nova Scotia Fair Play and Electronic Device Policy.</a></blockquote>   Accommodations:   Affordable hotels nearby:     <a href="https://www.choicehotels.com/nova-scotia/halifax/comfort-inn-hotels/cn207?mc=dalzxxcnch">Comfort Inn</a>, Bedford Highway (near MSVU)   <a href="http://chebuctoinn.com/">Chebucto Inn</a>, Lady Hammond Road (between MSVU and SMU)   <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Review-g154976-d1165240-Reviews-Robie_s_End-Halifax_Halifax_Regional_Municipality_Nova_Scotia.html">Robie’s End</a>, (B&B, very close to SMU)   And a little more upscale…   <a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/ca/holiday-inn-express-and-suites-halifax.en-gb.html?aid=309261&label=slbu_msn-8PyV0b4vhl5f_ZT9TBJKnQ-6302406672%3Atikwd-9214570520%3Aloc-32%3Aneo%3Amte%3Adec%3Aqsbedford%20nova%20scotia%20hotels&sid=884f62dcb04769fe0b701d898b182697&dest_id=-560928&dest_type=city&hapos=10&hpos=10&sr_order=class&srepoch=1556579455&srpvid=c473a2ff647b00cd&ucfs=1&from=searchresults;highlight_room=;spdest=;spdist=#hotelTmpl">Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax – Bedford</a>, 980 Parkland Drive (near MSVU)   <a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/ca/chateau-bedford.en-gb.html?aid=309261&label=slbu_msn-8PyV0b4vhl5f_ZT9TBJKnQ-6302406672%3Atikwd-9214570520%3Aloc-32%3Aneo%3Amte%3Adec%3Aqsbedford%20nova%20scotia%20hotels&sid=884f62dcb04769fe0b701d898b182697&dest_id=-560928&dest_type=city&hapos=6&hpos=6&sr_order=class&srepoch=1556579455&srpvid=c473a2ff647b00cd&ucfs=1&from=searchresults;highlight_room=;spdest=;spdist=#hotelTmpl">Chateau Bedford Trademark Collection by Wyndham</a>, 133 Kearney Lake Road (near MSVU)   <a href="https://www.reservations.com/hotel/the-lord-nelson-hotel-and-suites?rmcid=rcc4&msclkid=be1226e34aa614170a747a24ccde7587&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Top%20Hotels&utm_term=Lord%20Nelson%20Hotel%20Halifax&utm_content=The%20Lord%20Nelson%20Hotel%20%26%20Suites_1805117">Lord Nelson Hotel</a>, 1515 South Park Street (closer to SMU)   <a href="https://www.reservations.com/hotel/atlantica-hotel-halifax?rmcid=rcc4&msclkid=54b543555e5b1c51f45f1f92d8ac2c70&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Top%20Hotels&utm_term=Atlantica%20Hotel%20Halifax&utm_content=Atlantica%20Hotel%20Halifax_1805115">Atlantica Hotel Halifax,</a> 1980 Robie Street (closer to SMU)   <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">*** Note: If you are looking for a roommate to share hotel and/or travel costs with for the Bluenose Open 2025 tournament, please contact: Ken Cashin skcashin@outlook.com.</blockquote> <blockquote>List of people looking to share travel and/or room costs, contact Ken Cashin for more details:</blockquote> *** ONLY 64 SPOTS AVAILABLE *** Updated: February 21, 2025 Confirmed Participants: 62 Note: the ratings below are as of the date above and may not reflect the most recent CFC tournament results.

The Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University is proud to sponsor the inaugural Dalhousie Atlantic Cup (DAC), a chess tournament set to take place in the vibrant city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. This tournament is a celebration of the noble game of chess, offering a platform for both seasoned and emerging players to showcase their skills. The Dalhousie Atlantic Cup is divided into two sections. Section A is designed for players who hold a CFC rating equal to or higher than 1700, while section B is for players with a CFC rating of 1699 or lower. With 7 rounds and a time control of 1 hour plus a 30-second increment, players will have the opportunity to showcase both their stamina and their skills in this CFC-rated tournament. The top 8 participants from section A will advance to a subsequent CFC and FIDE rated tournament held one week later, where they will fight through a multi-level bracket system for the coveted Dalhousie Atlantic Cup! The champion will win $500 as well as a trophy, and the other finalists will be honored with medals, commemorating their achievement and participation. But the fun does not end there! Between the two tournaments, participants can enjoy a variety of events: <ul> <li>test their knowledge with a chess quiz for a chance to win prizes;</li> <li>collectively play a game against one of the very first chess engines imagined by Alan Turing;</li> <li>team-up with a chess buddy for spirited games of Bughouse, a fun and fast-paced team chess variant;</li> <li>for a change of pace, join for a friendly soccer match in a nearby park, fostering camaraderie and sportsmanship among the chess community!</li> </ul> The Dalhousie Atlantic Cup is more than just a tournament. It is a celebration of the rich culture of the timeless game of chess. Whether you are a titled player or an amateur, we invite you to be a part of this great event. Make sure to mark your calendars!America/New_York

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. See the CHESS NOVA SCOTIA TOURNAMENT HEALTH PROTOCOL, <a href="https://www.chessns.ca/health-protocol-for-cns-tournaments/">HERE</a>. *** All registered players MUST check in at the reg desk well in advance of — ONE HOUR BEFORE — the start of the first round in order to be paired for the first round. This is so that Ken knows they are on site and able to play and that he has time to do the pairings and start the first round on time, for everyone’s benefit. Please follow the rules. Note: If you expect to be late on the Friday of the tournament, then between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. you MUST contact Ken by email (skcashin@outlook.com) or cell phone or text (902 478-2359) to let him know. In this case, you must show up on site by 5:30 p.m. in order to be paired. Also, if you determine that you cannot play in the tournament after all, you must let Ken know. Likewise, if you have to drop out midway through, you must let Ken know. Date of tournament: June 13-15, 2025 Location: Saint Mary’s University, 923 Robie Street, Halifax, N.S., Loyola Academic Complex, rooms LA173, LA174, and LA175.

Tournament director/contact: Ken Cashin <a href="mailto:skcashin@outlook.com">skcashin@outlook.com</a> Arbiter: Chris Felix Type: Five round Swiss. Format/sections: If numbers warrant, the tournament will be run as a sectional; i.e., in two or more sections, determined by the ratings of the players.

Prizes: Cash prizes will be awarded, based on the number of entrants. The tournament winner’s name will be engraved on the Nova Scotia Open trophy. We only put one name on the trophy, so in the case of a tie for first, the winner (for the purposes of the trophy) will be determined by tie break. Time control: 40/105 + G/30 + 30 sec increment from start.

Players who do not show up for their games will be automatically withdrawn from the tournament. Also, a player is expected to show up on time for the start of the round, as a courtesy to their opponent.

Still, even in this case, you must show up on site by 5:30 p.m. in order to be paired. Also, if you determine that you cannot play in the tournament after all, you must let Chris know.

The Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University is proud to sponsor the second edition of the Dalhousie Atlantic Cup (DAC), a chess tournament set to take place in the vibrant city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. This tournament is a celebration of the noble game of chess, offering a platform for both seasoned and emerging players to showcase their skills. The Dalhousie Atlantic Cup is divided into two sections. Section A is designed for players who hold a CFC or FIDE rating equal to or superior to 1700, while section B is for players with a CFC or FIDE below 1700. With 7 rounds and a time control of 1 hour plus a 30-second increment, players will have in this tournament (FIDE and CFC-rated for Section A, CFC-rated for Section B) the opportunity to showcase both their stamina and their skills. The top 8 participants from section A will advance to a subsequent CFC and FIDE rated tournament held one week later, where they will vie for the coveted Dalhousie Atlantic Cup! The champion will win a trophy, and the other finalists will be honored with medals, commemorating their achievement and participation. But the fun does not end there! Between the two tournaments, participants can enjoy a variety of events: <ul> <li>test their knowledge with a chess quiz for a chance to win prizes;</li> <li>attend a musical surprise!</li> <li>team-up with a chess buddy for spirited games of Bughouse, a fun and fast-paced team chess variant;</li> <li>for a change of pace, join for a friendly soccer match in a nearby park fostering camaraderie and sportsmanship among the chess community!</li> </ul> The Dalhousie Atlantic Cup is more than just a tournament. It is a celebration of the rich culture of the timeless game of chess. Whether you are a titled player or an amateur, we invite you to be a part of this great event. Make sure to mark your calendars!America/New_York
