Registrations are proceeding, maybe at a slightly slower pace than originally anticipated, but still definitely good.

I have had some American players ask me about coming. I'm posting this as a quick reminder: American participants who want to come do need to have a passport (or a WHTI-compliant EDL or ENDID... if you don't know what they are). Given the time it takes to have passports done, it is important to act soon if you wish to come to Canada to play.

We're up to 5 paid places, 11 solid registrations. Add the locals that will sign up in the coming weeks, and it's looking good. A sizeable American contingent is coming to Montreal: all that's missing is you :)
