    The flyer and the the event link on icu calendar disappeared on 4th of july and only returned either late last night and early this morning and even now does't give the starting time for the rounds except round 1 .

    @sinbad Glad you found it.
    I can only suggest you contact the organiser at the details on the flyer/website.

    Scarry cup was an interesting competition.It's a swiss open,with each team made up of 6 players, only difference is that you can't be paired with your team mates .Gonzaga armstrong sending a team really lifted the standard of this competition, As for it's objective of preparing juniors for team experience in glorney, was a bit of nonsense .game experience they got but chess is one on one and many teams were artificially made up anyway and also most juniors already play in the league and familiar with teams.The location was rubbish , no parking and entrance of the hotel was just beside a busy bar were drunks seem to be hanging around all the time.I spent good bit of time hanging around o'connell street over the weekend, it's swarming with people and many unsavoury characters around but did not spot a single garda the entire time, I think they were all busy at the speed checkpoints making money for the government as protecting public doesn't pay.Air conditioning kept blowing cold air in the venue and a trip to reception became essential .As for the prize , I think free icu membership for the winning team for the following season would have been a much better prize than tournament entry voucher.
