Hugh & John, I collected some carbon copies of crown section games scores and will try to have them up in the next few days.
I would like to take this opportunity as well to thank our arbiter Tyler Longo for making things run smooth, as well as our volunteers. Behind the scenes, some of them floated in a couple of games, helping us with all the fine details were Chris Knox, Ben Hahn, Heathcliff Styles, Adie Todd, Peter Vuong, Eddie Chan, Stephanie and Haizhou Xu.
See you all at the next one! Flyers were available on-site for the Hart House Reading Week Open (February 18-19-20), and I will have that information online in the next few days as well.
