• As this event involves a very intensive format, do expect to get very tired by the end of the day.
• Sometimes, adjudication and tabulation of results might result in small delays at different points during the day. Hence, please do keep in mind that the schedule may not eventually be accurately followed, and the day might end later than mentioned here.
• That said, we will do everything in our capacity to run the tournament as per schedule strictly.
