There will be $800 allocated between the two sections for rating category prizes. These will be apportioned based upon the rating distribution of the final entry list as done in British weekend Congresses. ISCA has used this method before to great appeal.
Important Notes:
Players will be placed in the sections based upon their current published rating, but a player with a live rating greater than 1700 may request to “play up” in the Memorial. This request is not guaranteed to be granted.
Players assigned to a DGT board must play on it.

All prizes will be paid electronically.
