  Few notes on Economy Entry Fee:
  1) No Econ allowed in the Open section.
  2) If you choose economy entry fee, and if you win any prize money, only 50% of the amount you won will be paid out to you, the rest of the money will be transfered back to the general fund to offset the cost of the economy EF.
  3) Economy EF will only be available up to 3 days before the tournament. It is NOT available during the last three days before the tournament. (Tuesday midnight for Saturday tournaments, Wednesday midnight for Sunday tournaments.)
  4) Economy option is NOT available at onsite registrations.
  5) It must be finalized before Round 1 starts - players can not "upgrade" to normal entry fee after Round1 has started.

  How to make it even cheaper? Here is Scott's advice:
  "I registered for both ( Superswiss 6/14/14 and Luperswiss 6/15/14)!! Actually, I also registered for Sacramento on 7/12 as well. So get this...I used the economy mode for all three tournaments and received a $10 discount for registering for three Grand Prix $wiss events. It comes to only $8.64 per round (assuming I win NO prize fund). Thank you BAC for making this so affordable!"
