Registration

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 late.

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