I am posting pairings to facilitate going directly to your game when you enter the Courtside A & B. These might change in U1900 or U1600 if I missed/get more bye asks.

Round 1 starts promptly at 7 PM. Remember RA Center has a proof of vaccination at the door and a mask mandate. Please bring your papers! and expect some delay at the door. You can only enter at the West entrance.

In the Eastern Ontario Chess Association forfeit time is 30 min, your clock set at 1:30 goes to 59 minutes and you are awarded a loss.
