VERY IMPORTANT LAST-MINUTE NEWS: In setting up the tournament rooms this evening, it was confirmed that the OCA was not able to secure their pieces and clocks that were borrowed last weekend. Chris and I have scraped together very minimal equipment, so please bring your sets and clocks!
registration schedule for Saturday morning :
- I will be in the playing rooms from 1130am to 12noon
- Swiss pairings are planned to be done right at 12noon
- players paying after will be added to pairings as feasible
For your chess shopping convenience, Brad Thomson from the Ottawa Strategy Games store will be running a kiosk for most of the day on Monday, Victoria Day. He'll be set up in the skittles room, and if there is anything that you would like him to bring, please email : ottawa at chess-math dot org
