    Why is it necessary to wait this long to announce the pairings? Why can't it be done months earlier, even before the first provincial championship takes place? It would make preparation a lot easier.

      Hi Tom,

      It is the way the TD, Jeff Coakley, wants to do it.

      I don't argue :)

          Are there no playoffs this year? Are they using colour allocation for TB instead again?

          Incidentally by far the best website for a Canadian event, imo.

            I think we were a little slow getting that up, but they should be up by now. Actual games were played for the tie-breaks. Here is what I received from Jeff:
