The event features an incremental time control and a cross-sectional event for seniors, among other things. The congress will be held during the weekend of Burns Night, which is celebrated by Scots the world over. South Ayrshire is the birthplace of the national poet.

With less than a week to go until the start of the tournament I have added individual pages for each section to the congress website. If players could check they're in right section and I've recorded a bye that would be great. Any mistake please let me know.

Looks a very healthy entry list, have you ever wondered what the response would
be if it was held at a time when the Ayrshire weather was a tad better?

There is another congress (incorporating the West of Scotland championship) in the same venue at the end of May.
