| Miscellaneous | We suggest that you bring your own chess sets and/or
clocks if you have them – a limited quantity of sets and clocks
will be available on-site for those that may not have their own.
However, the sets that are provided will be for use in official
tournament games only. If you want to play casual games between the
rounds, you should have your own sets. We expect that we will have a few other activities organized. Such events may include parents blitz tournaments, simultaneous exhibitions and more. |
You can register online here Until Midnight on Thursday, May 13.
Registration has now closed. We hope to see you at the OYCC 2011!
Note that this constitutes your registration for the Ontario Youth Chess Championships. If the registered player does not appear for the first game (without prior arrangements), he/she will receive a rated forfeit loss and will be withdrawn for the balance of the tournament.
Please notify us of any inability to attend to avoid these unfortunate circumstances at: Patrick McDonald (patrick@psmcd.net ) or at: (519) 648-3253 at least 24 hours prior to the event.
