Last Week to Submit 2015 IL Open Bids

This is the last week for interested parties to submit bids for the 2015 Illinois Open.  Bids should be submitted to ICA Bid Chair Jeff Wiewel by July 20, or to ICA President Carl Dolson if the bid might propose Mr. Wiewel as Chief TD.

The event is targeted to be held September 5-7 and is usually conducted in two sections. Bids will be considered by the ICA Bid Committee and discussed at the August ICA Board Meeting with a final announcement coming no later than August 31.

If you've never submitted a bid before -- or just want to make sure you include all the important details -- check out the ICA bid guidelines posted elsewhere on this site: http://il-chess.org/index.php/aboutus/bids

As a further reminder, the bid process for the 2015 Illinois Senior Open is also open through August 15 with a June proposed event scheduling.

So find a venue, put together some paperwork, and bring the Illinois chess community an event to remember!
