9th International Open Draughts Tournament in SALOU
May 21 - May 29 2006

We invite you to participate in our 9th international open draughts tournament in Salou, that will be played from Sunday, May the 21st until Monday, May the 29th, 2006.

The tournament will be played in the Swiss system with 9 rounds. The complete program is shown below. As all former years the tournament turns out to be a great event. After the enormous success of last year, we are sure the participants will succeed in having a good time, because of the combination of a good holiday near to the beach (50 m), a fine hotel-accommodation and most of the time a spectacular draughts tournament in which excellent draughts players as well as the weaker ones participate.
The accommodation for the tournament is the same as the last three years, namely Hotel Cala Font in Salou.

The participation fee for the tournament is ˆ 55,--. The money prices (in number and height) will depend on the number of participants. The first price will be at least ˆ 600,--. Other prices will be paid for highest classifications, the best woman, best senior (over 55 years), best combination or best game and a “surprise – price” for one of the weaker players.

Hotel-accommodation is available for the price of ˆ 290,-- (including the tournament) and is based on a two-person room. For persons, who don’t participate in the draughts tournament, the price is ˆ 255,--. A reduction of 5% will be given to the people, who already participated in one of the former tournaments in Salou.
The hotel accommodation is Hotel Cala Font and breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.

There will be transfers from the airport of Barcelona to Salou and the airport of Reus to Salou on May 20th and from Salou to Barcelona and Reus on May 30th. The price for both transfers (together) is for the airport of Barcelona ˆ 35,-- per person and for the airport of Reus ˆ 15,--.
