Hi, you can count me in for this year!
Will bring the entry fee on April 9th.
Defending Champion!
Hello,
It’s a bit late but can I still register??
Thanks, Jeffrey!
Hello,
I’m very sorry but it seems like I will miss at least two games (busy on two Monday’s), which was unexpected.
Would it be possible if you could withdraw me from the tournament? I will give up my spot.
Sorry for the trouble this change has caused..
I messaged Robert Bzikot to see if he’d be interested in taking the vacancy. Waiting to hear back.
Hi Hugh, other people who have actually registered before the deadline are waiting in line right now.
Jeffrey Xu has withdrawn. Raymond Gao was the 17th player when pairings were drawn, and was promised the first opportunity to join if a spot became open. One has, and he has now agreed to join.
