Players:

• Be prepared to play all your games. Games may be rescheduled to another day, time or place if needed. But you must make every effort to play all your games.
• Why? Unlike a Swiss-Sys tournament, dropping out of a Round-Robin can sometimes unfairly affect the final standings (for example: if you win your game with one contender for 1st place but lose by default to another contender).

• Organizer: Fred Buzhaker, Willowdale Chess Club
• Arbiters: NA Don Parakin. NA Michael Barron
