The following is from Tournament organizer JP Planta.

Players not on the list please come early (9:30) to register and join a team!

As always, your cooperation in adhering to a few important rules will help
maintain a relatively smooth tournament schedule. If you have not paid, please
pay the entry fee of $40 promptly so we don’t have to chase you down on Saurday.
Please be dressed, warmed up and ready to play your game at least 10 minutes
prior to your posted time. Each game is allotted 60 minutes. If games are not
started on time, they will be reduced in time to ensure the schedule is
maintained. A strict 10-minute default rule will be applied. With all of the
above we will keep games on time!

After you have played your match, please check the schedule to see when you play
next. If not sure when you play, please ask.
