          Vlad's initial post stated:

          Players who arrive late (after 2 pm) may well be out of luck – especially if you don’t bring a set.
          I'll be in Toronto this weekend, but won't be able to play in the event. I'll try to pass by, but it wouldn't be before 5 or 6 pm.

            OK You've been added to the list.
            Hopefully the first round will begin at 2 pm - but I'm asking all players to show by 1:45 as no one is paired who has not paid their entry fee.
            In your case you should arrive about 1:00 or 1:30 as we will need to discuss Rapid rules as they're applied in this tournament.
            I'm there from 11:00 am every Saturday and this time I'll need all the time for setting up.

              One point I've failed to mention - our major sponsor to the event had added a caveat "In case of a tie for the top prize, there must be a playoff to determine the winner!"
              In such a case I would recommend a series of two 5 minute games until there is a winner.
              Probably even better would be to extend the tournament to 6 or even 7 rounds to take advantage of the stellar cast of participants - however this will not be done without unanimity among the top players.
              This will all need to be determined before the first round begins.

                  Hi Vlad,

                  Please add Michael Song to the pre-register list. I sent you email a couple of days ago.

                  Thanks
