Actually, I could not access that link either…so I emailed Bryan Lamb (assuming he might be the TD)….but I haven't heard back from him.Originally posted by Derek England View PostComment

Re: Labour Day tournament (Toronto)?
Strategy Games will have a bookstall at the Labour Day Open, run by the lovely
Seena. Let us know in advance, if you need particular books/items brought there.
We will also have tournament sets available for rental, along with a limited number
of digital clocks. Do try to let us know in advance if you would like one reserved.
We will have them on sale too - the Mephisto Saitek, and North American DGT
clocks. I can heartily recommend the North American DGT - I've had one for over
a dozen years without a single problem. Its very robust, and unlike other digitals
which use knob/buttons for each player, the DGT has a strong, moulded centre-bar.
Best of all its the cheapest on the market ($59.95), has all the bells and whistles,
and tournament settings, and, best of all......comes with free batteries! :-)

Hey, Randy and/or Bryan, you guys have me down with the wrong rating on the pre-reg list. It says 2401, when it actually is 2178! Thanks, see you tomorrow!
