    I have decided to lower the entry fee for for 5-player teams to $80 to match the entry fee for 4-player teams. The reason for this decision is that the total number of games played is the same regardless of number of players on a team.

    Wednesday is the last day of pre-registration. Make sure to send in your team list by then to avoid late fees.

      Players who register without a team will be matched up with partial teams as much as possible. Therefore I encourage people who do not have a team or have incomplete teams to register.

      The list of teams so far is:

      1. EMC Team 1 (~2270)

              No. They are determined by the team at registration.

                    Looks really good now. Still missing some teams like Windsor / Hart House / Annex / Scarborough / Niagara Falls and Mississauga. That will make it 20 teams.

                    Come on.....it will be a real fun one day tournament in both sections.

                    I hope there will be cash prizes for the bottom section TOO !!! and not just the top section.....

                      I agree Gary it could attract more teams as well, we’ve got a good number already, 20 would give nice variety to the tournament aswell

                        There will be cash prizes for both sections, but no trophies this year. Ideas I suggested to the directors for next year:

                        - Rolling trophy; winning team trophy for club; individual trophies based on individual board performances.
                        - Higher late fee + possibly mandatory pre-registration to start on time.
                        - Blitz tiebreak (for trophy only) to make it more exciting.

                        For this year, we would appreciate if one of the parents could take team pictures.

                        As it stands, this tournament will have one of the lowest local turnouts ever, so I'm cautiously optimistic we will end up with at least one more local team.

                          I don't see a team lead by Avinaash S and also Concordia ( Kitchener ) ? These local two teams will be sorely missed....

                          No Windsor team as well this year. CCYC from Markham should also send a team or two lead by key instructor Mike Ivanov

                          Still hopeful there will be 18-20 teams before tournament begins
