As per 30th of March we have only 20 registered players. Although we a lot of good players, we have to announce some changes depending on the number of final registrated players. For the main it will mean that we will reduce the number of players advancing to playoff #1 to 16 if we are not more than 48 registered players at tournament start. And thereby make a longer playoff #2 and skip the playoff #3. We really hope that more players will attend the Bergen Open in May!
