I'm kicking this off early this year because we have a lot of potential entrants so there will be 5 rounds to fit in before the end of August if last year is anything to go by. There are eight entrants so far.
Last entries will be on the night of the AGM - 16th May, and I'll also probably be at the club next Tuesday (9th) to take entries. I'll try to make the draw on the night of the AGM if it doesn't drag on too long.
Provisional final dates for each round (these will vary if there are less than 16 or more than 32 entries).
Preliminary Round (to reduce entries to 16) 6th June at the latest.
1st round proper 27th June
2nd Round 18th July
Semi-Final 8th August
Final 29th August
Note that there are only 3 weeks for each round. However, games can take place on any day at any venue. You could even play on a website if you can find one that allows different time limits for each player and you trust each other not to use computers! It's a good idea to arrange your game before the final date if possible, to allow for draws.
