I would word it like this : ======================================================================== CCO is organizing an advanced Los Alamos correspondence chess tournament. The event will take place at http://www.cowplay.com/ A dedicated advanced chess handle should be created, playing with existing accounts is not allowed.

Good luck. =========================================================================
