Registration

When registering for the tournament, we require the male participant to invite the female participant to the tourney. While this is a nice act of chivalry, this will ensure that all males are seated in the same direction(s), as is a condition of mixed pairs. While we are unable to monitor this, failure to do so, could result in a penalty. So please take care of this issue.

Please make it a point to register early every day so that we can sort out issues. We may face issues as fresh exclusive lists have to be prepared each day for every event. While we will do our best to ensure all of you get registered, we shall not be responsible for any failure to register you in the event you report this to us after 430 pm.

Participants must be online when the tournament starts otherwise we will not be able to accommodate you. This is a BBO requirement, not ours.
