Last year 2 players received help with accommodation from organisers.
I will check up for situation this year.

Only Alan Tate & Martin Mitchell contacted me so they get the nominations

Good luck to both. Out of interest, how many GM norms does Alan Tate cuurently have and how many more does he need to be awarded the title of GM?

Am I right in thinking that Alan has already secured enough IM norms but needs to achieve a 2400 FIDE rating before he is awrded the title?

[Andy Howie]

David,

That is correct. Alan needs a grade of 2400 at any point during a tournament for it to count. He has 1 GM norm as well!
