Columbia, South Carolina
The 7th Columbia Open will be held August 17 - 19 at the Hilton Garden Inn
- Harbison. This will be the fourth straight year the Hilton has played host to
the Midlands Premier tournament.

This year's tournament will feature Four Sections instead of three, Open,
U2000, U1600 & U1200 with prizes for the Top three finishers in each
section and an Under prize. The other change to this year's tournament is the
time control has been changed to Game 120 which makes for a less rushed
schedule that should allow participants the chance to enjoy some of the many
fine restaurants and stores in the Harbison area.

We hope to see you at the 2012 Columbia Open!
