MSO Cambridge 2011 Schedule.

|
|
This schedule is provisional and is likely to change.
We are pleased to announce what we have arranged with regard to the detailed
playing schedule for MSO Cambridge 2011.
Almost all of the tournaments at the MSO Cambridge 2011 are run on the Swiss
system. This means that you do not get knocked out of a tournament if you lose a
game - you continue to play against opponents who have approximately the same score
as yourself and you continue to play every round no matter what your score may be.
