Phitsanulok Open in ChessBase India

http://chessbase.in/news/phitsanulok-international-open-2017/

Category Grading Begins - Sunday Weekend Rapid Series Starts 9 July 2017

http://caturmalaysia.com/sunday-weekend-rapid-chess-series-1-registration/

We have kept the entry fee low and allocated 70 percent of collection for prizes (winning small amounts of cash after paying high entry fees, as has been much the norm for other non-sponsored chess events, should not be the objective of a day enjoying playing chess).

I doubt the 30 percent kept can even defray costs but it is not about profit with our activities.

Still, we guarantee that with every ten entries, there will be one prize, all will also get certificates and more importantly will enter and be part of the category grading system.
