Tea, coffee and soft drinks available.
Many bars, cafes, takeaways and restaurants within easy walking distance.
If two sections each have an odd number of players in a given round, one person from each will be paired against the other, though both will be scored as a full point bye in their section. This game will be graded.
If the total number of players in a given round is odd, one player will be given a full point bye. It may be possible to arrange a graded game for them against someone not competing in the whole congress. I hope to maintain the record of the first five years in which no entrant was ever without a game.
