2009 World Open Side Events
For location and site information, go to the World Open page
Note: We are not inviting advance entries for these events because 1) Doing refunds is a major burden, 2) If we post advance entries for small events, there may be very few until a few days before the tournament, which will cause others to lose interest. For events allowing half point byes, you can take a bye in round one and enter until a half hour before round two.
