Henry,

Not likely we will have early pairings on Friday night as the registration is open till early morning where will close the registration about one hour before tournament begins.

On another note, we have about 140 players on board now.

We will probably close the registration once we reach 150 players.

We have about 14 players in the top section.

Cheers

Onsite fee will be an additional $ 20 and we will close the registration at 8.30AM which is 1 hour before round 1 begins. Round 1 should start on time as always.

We have about 20 players in the top section now. Total players about 150 now.

where will the pgn files for the top two sections be posted ?

[Gary Hua]

Hi Henry,

We will send the scoresheets to Hugh Brodie. For the lives games ( 3* 5 ) - 15 games, you can down load the games.

The rest of the games for section 1 and 2 - Once we get to Hugh Brodie, maybe you can see their games in Canbase.

I don't know if anybody else will key the games and produce them in pgn.

Hope this explain

Thanks

Gary
