Has anyone been able to work out what norm chances there are for the tournament? Or is that something that can only be determined after games have all completed?

Yes, There are 2 players in contention and 8 - 10 just off it. Normally we publish what is needed with 2 rounds to go as the permutations with 3+ hurt the brain!

Entries to the weekend congress closed on the deadline for entries.
I apologise to any late entry that has been turned away but we have only just been able to accommodate those who entered on time.
The size of the Championship/Open exceeded expectations.

Uploading the draws at the moment, will check to see what is causing this

I think the giant-killing prize has already been won... unless someone under 1800 beats GM Ruck or GM Hera.
Young Andrew McCusker has done exceptionally well so far...
