We have thought about it on the board and discussed it with the tournament directors and can announce the following good news to you.

1. Austrian Open - The number of participants will be increased from 120 to 135. This means that the first 15 on the waiting list will be accepted and can start.

2. Spanish Open - The number of participants is increased from 100 to 130. That means all 30 on the waiting list are in the field. This will also close the registration completely. There is no longer an option to register, even if someone from 130 cancels.

In both tournaments, players have to live with the fact that there will be a radical cut before the final individual round.
