        Certainly - any conflict with moving to either Sat. 21st or Sat 28th May?

        Susan Polgar, and the Canadian coordinator Andrei Botez need the Provincial
        winners by May 31st. We have already started receiving registrations, and
        would need to inform the registrants too of the proposed date-change.

          Hi Francis, there is Ontario Open and a CYCC qualifier at on May 21st. Saturday May 28th seems like the better date.

          Also, can the time control be 25 minutes + 5 seconds increment rather than G30?

              REMINDER:
              (We've had a few calls asking if it's this Sat. May 14th - NOT!)
