Note: all prizes are guaranteed

There are three rating sections, determined by dividing the total number of players with a rating of less than 2000, by three.

Unrated players will be initially placed in an appropriate group by the arbiter, but may be adjusted after three rounds. Final rating groups will be displayed prior to the start of round four.

There is a limited amount of pre-booked accommodation available in the University Hostel at 128 Victoria Street Ballarat. Tariffs at the hostel are $95 per single or twin room per night and $140 per triple room per night. There are two or three single beds and private facilities in each room.

If a booking is required please include a $50 deposit with your entry, but be quick as reservations are limited and rooms will only be held if a deposit is received in advance.

If you would like further information on alternative accommodation, we suggest you contact
