Only 3 More Days to Get Your Entry In!!
Canadian Chess Consulting Service (CCCS), organizer of the FIDE rating round robin, Battle of Toronto II, now has enough players registered in both rating pools (4 FIDE-rated; 4 non-FIDE-rated), that the tournament will be going ahead on Monday, Oct. 7 as advertised. See "conditional" pre-registered list on the revised flyer below.
But registration does not close for 3 more days. And you can still try to make it into the tournament. We are accepting more than 4 "conditional" registrations per pool, because we are seeking to make the tournament as competitive as possible, and to make sure it achieves its goals. If we have more than 4 registrations in a pool, then at the close of registrations we will choose the 4 who will be entered. The additional players will go onto a "back-up" list, in case any chosen players unexpectedly decide to withdraw.
To enter, contact me as set out in the below flyer. NOTE: Registration closes @ 6:00 PM on Wednesday, Sept. 11!
