To play in the grand masters division you need to turn 50+ during the calendar year.

I will be 49 this December and the next calendar year (2013) I will turn 50.

The way I read this is even though I won't turn 50 until the end of the year it's still in the calendar year and I will be able to enter tournaments as a grand master in 2013.

Did I read this correctly?

You are correct. Since you turn 50 in 2013 you can play Grand Master in January of 2013.
