I hope that you are looking forward to a well attended Western Masters series.

The Western Masters will be played over 5 weeks from 21 June. If you will be away week 1 or will be late arriving please advise Steven so he can include you in the pairings. The event is a round robin, played over 5 weeks with players paired with opponents with a similar rating as follows:

• Western Masters Round Robin – Players 1 to 6
• Western Major Round Robin – Players 7 to 12
• Western Minor Round Robin – Players 13 to 18
• Western Swiss – Remaining Players

 If you are unavailable for a week, this can be accommodated as we will have a week off for lightning between rounds 4 and 5. Players are free to play catch-up games that evening.
