Kieran Cranny Blitz Grand Prix

The rules are simple: three rounds of nine games each. Everybody is in one draw. You can enter any individual round, even if you miss a round, but obviously you stand a much better chance of winning if you enter all three rounds. There are prizes for the overall winner, an intermediates winner, and a junior winner (based on ratings). Organised by Michael Kennedy.
