The provisional dates for the Tournament are as follows;
1st round (group stages)
Evening of Friday 4th July - evening of Sunday 6th July. Run-off games to be completed on evenings of following weeks however it will be difficult and so it is essential that almsot all games are completed this weekend - make sure you are free!
Finals
Semi finals - Saturday 19th July Final & Consolation - Sunday 20th July
Games will be scheduled to be as evenly distributed as possible and will be arranged in full following the Tournament draw. Priority of times will be given to the most compromised of entrants - so far due to working schedules and distance travelled that will be Simon Gray, Luke Greensmith & Andrew Townley. Note that the venue will be Southport but I will be travelling almost 2 hours from Liverpool, so there is little excuse for making it to games, I will be giving up the entirety of both weekends!
Timings will be arranged following the Tournament draw on Saturday June 21st. Where possible, games may be scheduled for weekday evenings although it is intended that this be avoided.
Games will each be given 3-4 hours slots allowing for a single game on the 5th, 4 on the 6th and 3 on the 7th, with a possibility of having +1 game on both days. However there will be 12 games played in the 1st round so some will have to be scheduled for the weekday evenings.

Tournament dates are now confirmed!!!!!
for the diary
June 21st - Tournament Draw, Ormskirk (time TBC)
Friday 4th - 6th July - Tournament 1st round
Saturday 19th July - Semi-finals
Sunday 20th July - Final
Having spoken to almost all of the entrants these times seem fine with some slight concern over the second weekend (although you will have 2 weeks notice as to whether or not you have progress)
All games are due to take place in Southport, and all members are welcome to attend the entire event. We also need an additional writer and invigilators present, given the intensity of the weekend I cannot be present for every game. volunteers?
