    Thanks Michael for the information.

    One more question :

    Can the tournament be FIDE rated ?

    It will be good as there will be a lot of strong players playing.

    I may send a team there from Burlington/Water/Hamilton area.

    Thanks

    Gary

      Time control is not good for fide ratings.
