No arguement from me!
Obviously something went wrong.
Was it the rules in place for pairings or something else?

Strong at avoiding the top two seeds to win the tournament with a perfect score.

After round 2, players with 2.0/2.0 were paired with players 1.0/2.0, creating a large amount of players with still perfect scores after 3 rounds. Even with them playing each other, there was no way to properly narrow it down in time over a 5 round tournament.
I am still puzzled as to why the pairings were done in this way, and see no explanation available from the rulebook.

Originally posted by Larry Bevand View PostI am pleased to report that the CMA team, lead by Leslie Armstrong, did a great job yesterday!
Over 400 players took part in the Provincial event which was held north of Toronto.
The 12 Ontario champions (there is no Kindergarten event at the Nationals) get their airfare to Halifax, NS paid for by the CMA.

It is really simple actually...because Ontario parents, organizers and schools contribute to the cost of sending their team all year long in the form of entry fees and the purchase of chess materials. Organizers pay Ontario Chess Challenge (OCC) regional fees, parents pay entry fees etc.
We appreciate their continued support over all these years!
This covers the cost of sending a team to the Nationals.
