Re: Closed Action Round 1

Does anyone know why the CFC website says that the Closed begins July 31?

[Hal Bond]

Re: Closed Action Round 1

The Zonal Championships did begin on July 31 with our Women's Championship. The Men's or Absolute, started yesterday. CFC board message is too concise and thus confusing.

[Jordan S. Berson]

Re: Closed Action Round 1

Thanks Hal.

Is there a website that posts the results of the women's championship?
