Re: Hart House Reading Week Open

Hi all,

Please note the following changes from our last tournament:
- U1300 Section has been added.
- U1900 Section (in addition to Crown and U2200) will also be FIDE-rated

Re: Hart House Reading Week Open

Hi Alex,

I am pretty sure that the Monday (the last day/2 rounds of the tournament) is a school day, which means that this could significantly affect the registrations from the juniors, including me.

Hi William,
I certainly hope schools are not open that day. It's Family Day in Ontario.

Both the Ontario Ministry of Education and the Toronto District School Board list February 20th as a holiday.

Re: Hart House Reading Week Open

Register me for the open section please. Although my rating currently is 2194, it will likely go over 2200 after the tournament at Guelph. Thanks.

Re: Hart House Reading Week Open

Hi, are there teams? Also please put me in the U2200 section. Thanks.

[Alex Ferreira]

Re: Hart House Reading Week Open

Okay.

At the moment everyone's rating is listed from the time they registered with me, some of which are inaccurate.
I will update everyone's ratings once they're published late Wednesday / Thursday.
