Schedule Update:

  • Due to the Birkdale Community Centre being used as a voting site for the upcoming Provincial Election, the "Winter Swiss" games scheduled for February 20 and 27 have been canceled. However, the tournament will remain at 7 rounds.
  • As a result of this two-week gap, and pending the availability of a playing location, the "Spring into Summer Swiss" tournament will be extended into July. Tentatively, the final two rounds are set for July 3 and 10, subject to confirmation.
