Re: New Toronto RR Tournament Starts in October

The posting reads "100% returned". However - the three prizes (150, 90, 60) total only $300 - and a minimum of $700 would have been collected from the 10 players. Does the remaining $400 pay for the "refreshments and snacks" (a buffet and open bar every week?) :):)

Good luck with this event (and post some/all games)!

Hi Hugh:

In your dreams !!

But I think 100 % meant return of entry fees after expenses. I'll mention it to Oscar - likely not an accurate way to state it.

I'll pass on your good wishes to Oscar.

I'll ask him if he'll use carbon scoresheets to collect the games.

Hi Sam:

All the details are in the main post. It's at the Chess 'n Math offices on Bayview.

Let Oscar know you want to play - he's trying to make sure he gets his 10 players.

Re: New Toronto RR Tournament Starts in October 17 - Location Correction

One correction to the original information on location : the address of the CMA office where the tournament will be held is 1650 Bayview Ave. ( not 1685 as stated originally - the original post has now been edited to correct it ). Sorry for the error.:(
