It shouldn't cost $100 or more to enter a tournament at a fine hotel! That was our premise in 1978 when the 1st Newton Open (in 4 sections) drew 145 players to this same hotel, establishing the 4-round format in New England! We can't duplicate the $5-11 advance entry fees of 1978--we have six times the prizes and just $25 gets you into any section (even the grand prix!) by November 1!!! Help us celebrate the return of this event to Newton! Everyone gets 1 MACA grand prix point for each game played. There will also be a display honoring the THOUSANDS of players who competed in the first 24 Newton Opens
