SEATTLE SPRING OPEN

[Update 3/3/2025: We have increased capacity to 80 seats! At this point we are full with 81 players signed up, and a wait list. We encourage you to sign up for the wait list, because it is likely that some players will withdraw, thereby opening up seats. We will not be able to increase capacity any more. The stated prize fund of $1,500 – based on 40 entries – will be increased according to the final count of players.]
