Dinner

The main goal is for everyone to get a good few games in throughout the day.

Players in the lower categories who get knocked out in the first round will enter a plate tournament - so everyone will get a good few games in.

Players can join us for the tournament dinner and awards at a local restaurant in the evening.

FAQs

Who can play in the tournament?
Our tournament is open to all.
Am I good enough to compete in a tournament?
We will run multiple categories of different ability categories, so everyone can compete with folks at a similar level and have some good games. Qualifying matches and a plate tournament for the lower categories should ensure everyone gets a few matches in.
I'm coming from outside of Edinburgh. Is there any accommodation available to travelling players?
Some of our members have kindly offered up a limited number of spare rooms and sofas. Please get in touch if you need a place to stay.
