Numbers for Saturday have picked up. Thanks to all who have entered so far.
I can't guarantee a minimum prize fund for this event at the moment.
However, as this is the first Livingston Allegro and you have to start somewhere, I am thinking that the total entry fees for each individual section will be returned as prize money in that section, with a tweak or two.
So just now I have 9 entries in the Open, including two titled players for others to have a shot at. The total entry fees from the Open are £90 just now, so I would probably have a first prize of £55 and a second of £35.
At the moment Challengers and Major have 5 and 7 entries respectively, with a junior in each, so I think even it up at £50 total for each section and split £30 for 1st and £20 for 2nd. Same or similar prize fund for Rooks and Knights sections, as it stands.
The more entries the bigger the prize fund per section. .
