 mbership is free.\nPRIZES: Trophies for top three in each section, plus top
  grade in each section. We do not use tiebreaks, so everyone who ties for a
  grade prize is considered a winner. One prize per person. Free entry into 
 a future event may be chosen instead of a trophy for those who wish. Prizes
  may take up to a week after the event concludes as games need to be checke
 d for fair play violations. These checks are done through the proprietary m
 ethods used by lichess and independent analysis by tournament organizers.\n

 ink and password for the tournament will be emailed to that address. If the
