Yes, round 1 will begin shortly after 1 pm, after welcome and opening announcements.
2 rounds Friday; 3 rounds Saturday (2 for Championship); only 1 round Sunday

This allows people to leave Sunday by 4:30 pm, after awards.
If travelling a long way, this is much better than having to play 2 games on Sunday and leave at 8-8:30 pm after awards.

It should not be a problem for students to miss classes on Friday afternoon, or all day on Friday if travelling a long way.

RATINGS:
Please don't worry too much about ratings.
This tournament is a great experience for kids at all levels.
If a school has 3 or more players, there are team prizes available, depending on the sections their players enter.
There are lots of individual prizes: 1st - 3rd overall in each section, plus 1st - 3rd in each school grade, in each section (depending on numbers), and top girl in each section.

The tournament will be rated both CFC regular and CMA.

If a player has an established CFC rating, that rating will determine the section.
If a player has a provisional CFC rating (fewer than 25 games), we'll consider the CMA rating plus 200 points for section placement.
