    Hi,

    Good to see Horse & Buggy continuing! Happy to see only two rounds a day. In my opinion, 2.30pm start time for the second round of the day seems very ambitious with the time control as is. 10pm curfew should allow for a 4pm start time without running any danger of stepping over it. Maybe some middle ground may be worth considering to allow players a meal between rounds. Labour Day / Toronto Open was able to do 3pm start time on the Monday, with 200+ people, so it's possible, but I bet it was a crunch. Hoping to make it.

              Hi Riley,

              I never register my kids (Eugene & Michelle Hua ) for the tournament. Please remove their name from pre-register list.
              Thank you

                Hi Gary Hua , I was instructed by the organizer to put them in initially. Eugene and Michelle Hua have both been removed.

                  The tournament has been cancelled due to a lack of players.
