9. The Organiser, Coordinator, and myself are still receiving many calls from parents who still want to register their children for the event. Again, we would like to apologise that the event can no longer take in any more player. The total board allocation for 4 categories are 170 Boards for 342 players. Collectively, we have to reject more than 40 players due to both space limitation and shortage in Qualified Arbiters.
