Wednesday Swiss.

We will be closed on WED, March 18th and 25th. The games played on 3/4 and 3/11 will be rated. I would like to offer everyone a $15 refund for the cancellation of the tournament since ya'll will be missing two expected rounds and there will not be a prize fund issued. Hopefully everyone considers this to be fair. 

​Thank you for your support.
Best,  Kwunnie
