As of Feb 10, we are holding at 38 entries (original 38 - 4 withdrawn + 4 new entries).
Entries are now posted at www.ohscc.on.ca and will be updated weekly until Feb 25.
This tournament is on for sure.
I hope to see many new entries - it's never too early to enter! flyer is available at www.ohscc.on.ca
PLEASE NOTE: EMAIL REGISTRATIONS CLOSE FRIDAY FEB 21.
On the following week-end before the event, the final entries will be posted - showing any groups which have to be combined.
In the week leading up, I'll have a lot of final arrangements to complete - based on the size of the tournament.
Please consider whether you / your child may wish to play.
Please register as soon as you have decided. You'll receive a reply quickly, and will be added to the next entries update.
Ideally, we'll get enough new entries to run 6 separate tournaments.
If we don't get enough additional entries, we'll have to combine some sections: most likely U8 & U10 ; possibly
also U12 & U14.

This qualifier was originally scheduled for Sat Nov 30 2013 at Woburn CI.
We received only 38 entries - simply not enough to support the prize-fund and costs.
We have now re-scheduled to Sat Mar 1, 2014.
The new site is SATEC @ W A Porter CI - 40 Fairfax Cresc (near Warden Subway Station) - former home of the Scarborough Chess Club.
Details follow from the original posting below.
Clarification: we shall pay the OYCC entry fee for the winner of each section, and for the top girl (if she does not win overall, and if the section has at least 4 girls).
We shall also purchase CFC membership for all qualifiers with score >= 2 1/2 out of 5 - provided they register for CYCC by 1 June 2014, inform us, and wait for us to make the purchase.
DEADLINES: postal registration with cheque - mail postmarked by Tues Fen 18.
email registration (pay cash at site) - Fri Feb 21 - we need a week to make all arrangements and set up.
Those who pre-registered for Nov 30 are still registered unless they inform us that they wish to cancel - yes, a few have done so.
