    When I try to add this to the calendard, I see the 2 day tournament FAAAR 2018 Foxtrot Tango CFC Chess Tournament from http://www.miltonchess.ca/images/cfc..._and_faaar.pdf. Is this rapid tournament going to happen at same time and same place with that one? Or is that one cancelled?

      Allen, a 2 day * rated * tournament was originally organized with the Etobicoke Chess Club, this tournament was cancelled after Etobicoke received a request from the Hamilton club who were running a rated tournament the same weekend. The veterans tournament was reorganized as a 1 day * unrated * fun tournament so as to not compete with the Hamilton tournament, as we still have the room for Saturday players in the tournament can make use of the room for practice play, we are also looking to have a simultaneous if we can find a high ranked player.
