2011 WA Grand Prix


The 2011 WA Grand Prix events were held as part of the Yulgilbar - Think Big Australian Grand Prix. The top WA player will receive a cash prize in the national competition but may or may not be the CAWA winner. The Kingsley Open, The Gufeld Cup, the Perth Open, the Foundation Open, the Willetton Open and the Christmas Open comprise the six WA Grand Prix Tournaments this year. Ratings are taken from December 2010. While a player may win more than one title, he/she may only win one monetary prize *.
