    Any chance the rounds can be 10 and 3? This worked out well at the CYCC

                Will you provide boards and clocks for the blitz tournament?


                fine print: I'll be nearby in the Elora Gorge camp, thus I'm considering to come. But you know - wife, kids, friends :D

                  There are 80 entries.

                  The top section seems a bit light. Hope last minute masters show up.

                  Omar is in the under 2000; at least I don't have to worry about Bob Armstrong.

                  I'm off to the bus station.
