We're currently at 30 pre-entries.

Alex, may you add a column showing which section players chose?

Re: 30 and counting

Alex, may you add a column showing which section players chose?

Hi Egis,

I will post that information the night before / morning of the tournament.
I believe so far 4 people have asked to play up (2 from U1600 to U2K and 2 from U2K to Open).

39 entries at the moment.

Re: 70 and counting

Hello everyone,


We've reached at least 70 pre-registrations so far, and the field is looking quite good, players of all levels. I've split the list into the sections players will be playing in. Well divided classes so far. Although we're unlikely to reach 100, that is our maximum capacity. At 10 am tomorrow the last pre-reg update will be done, and all further entries will be considered late.

Our website at:
http://hhchess.sa.utoronto.ca/hhopen

- copy of flyer available to download
- projected prize fund
- access/maps & parking info
- pre-registered list (http://hhchess.sa.utoronto.ca/hhopen...egistered.html)

For those who have recently played at Hart House, we'll be using a different room on the main floor, East Common, located immediately below the one we used before.

See you all there!
