GAYP (tournament)
Go-As-You-Please


Explanation:
http://www.usacheckers.com/tournamentguide.php
(especially the Word document that is attached to that page, which defines “Go-As-You-Please” as “no opening restrictions”)

By the way, a “trick” I use that often works is to google the name of the event plus the date of the event, like this: +GAYP "July 25"
