Also a message from Peter Leahy, the Tournament Referee on Sunday:

Dear Participants in our Senior  League Annual Tournament yesterday,

Thank you all for taking part in great sporting spirit. Also a big thank you to the many players who helped with umpiring during the day. Some of you umpired a lot of matches. It made it possible  to get every match  on to a table as soon as players became available enabling us to keep the whole tournament on track. Thank you!

Thanks you for entering the Tournament.  The event start times will be as follows:

Please check which events you have entered and come at least 30 minutes before the start of your earliest event.   

We have brought forward by 30 minutes some of the League Closed Tournament events.  This is to make sure people are available to get these events moving as soon as possible, so that we can better accommodate the Junior Tournament in the afternoon.  The Junior Tournament has a big entry, they have a tight schedule and will need 7 tables.   

The nature of multi event tournaments is such that not all matches in a particular event can start immediately, as players are involved elsewhere.  Consequently, please understand that you may have to wait a little for your first match, although there will be tables available for knocking up.  Hopefully you can enjoy your wait time. 

We hope you have a great Tournament. 

Best wishes,  Mick Taylor 

KDTTL General Secretary
