  • Guelph Spring Pro-Am, April 1-2, 2017

    This looks like a busy weekend! Kingston, Aurora and Guelph. I wish my fellow organizers all the best and I hope these 3 events are each successful. I would move my dates if I could but it was not possible when I announced in November of last year and there have been no cancelations since, so here we are.

    Hi Hal,

      Hi Tony
      June 24-25 is booked in the basement (Peter Clark Hall), but the building is undergoing significant maintenance this spring so it is possible that we could get bumped. I will advise as soon as I know.

        Hi Hal,
        Whether or not you are aware of this, the Guelph Tournament overlaps the Aurora Spring Tournament. Could you do something to change the dates, maybe move the tournament a week later or before? Thanks.

          Hal already talked about this in his first post. He said "This looks like a busy weekend! Kingston, Aurora and Guelph.

                  66 players so far

                  I have decided to play. I hope I still recall how the pieces move!

                  Some players have been asking about their eligibility in a FIDE rated section if they don't have a FIDE rating. Eligibility is based on CFC ratings. FIDE ratings are a bonus.

                  There is still time to register on line to avoid the on site late fee.
