Congratulations to Brian Fiedler, Michael Barron and the entire organizing commitee for the best Canadian Open ever.

It is always wonderful to have all the boards, sets and clocks provided.

It is also great to have the event take place in a first class hotel.

And a new innovation...having first round pairings made in advance was a major plus that will hopefully be followed in future Opens.

An added plus was the large number of side events including the very popular trivia contest.

Another plus was the number of high profile sponsors and the visibility each attained.

Plus a quality tournament director and staff.
