The school had a PIBG meeting on 1st Sept to decide that "No more entry is to be accepted after 1st Sept 2009. Also, the school management will not entertain any walk-in entry on the tournament day".

Also, the school would like to start at the earliest possible time on Sunday. So, the school would like to remind all registered participants to reach the school venue BY 8.30AM on this Sunday (13th Sept).
