    A bunch of people have sent me emails to register, great.
    But seriously I don't even have a moment to even acknowledge them yet.

    I will do that tomorrow and start a preregistered list.
    So, keep them coming.

    Announcement: Garvin Nunes will be TD/Chief Arbiter :)
    Garvin has more patience than myself to resolve disputes so I am delighted!

    So, I can focus on organizing, so my new title will be, hmmm....let me see.....

    Chief Organizer: Bob Gillanders :) ya, that's the ticket!

        I have had an inquiry regarding inexpensive hotel accommodations in Mississauga.
        Mississauga, being a large urban centre, has too numerous choices to mention.
        Would anyone from last years tournament care to recommend a hotel in Mississauga?

                    We are now at 43 players.

                    Biggest section is U1600.
                    hmmm....interesting.
                    I guess players really do prefer trophies.
                    Maybe we should have just trophies for all sections next year!

                            I believe because we have a guaranteed prize fund we cant have discounts this year..but email Bob to be sure about this.
