Drogheda Congress

ComDubh

I played the Drogheda Congress last weekend, not having played in it for many years, and was a bit daunted by it being held in a school and the rather poor way it was advertised. I needn't have worried! The organisation and venue were superb. It was held in a spacious, bright hall, natural light on all sides, no problems with noise. Each game was on its own table. It really adds to a tournament when you wander about without squeezing past people all the time. The tournament itself was run very efficiently (and good-naturedly!), not a single hiccup I can think of. I'll definitely consider playing this again next year. Well done to all involved in the organisation.

Well done to Drogheda indeed. Despite the poor advertising and conflicting information they had out there, the weekend itself went well. Always lovely people up there. I just wish they would be more organised in advance though. I can't help thinking they are flying by the seat of their pants and just get lucky on the day! Still apart from their pre tournament issues was very enjoyable.

The tournament has not been rated yet. Any idea when this will happen? Seems to be taking longer than usual

It would be nice to see this rated. Any progress?

Drop them an e-mail would be best I'm sure.

Probably contactable through their website?

I emailed almost a fortnight ago and was told there was a problem with a file.

Which is code for "We filled it out incorrectly and cannot figure out how to fix now" or "we lost the proper results so not sure what to do" Their Arbiter should give his fee back to them! Such a problem should be easy to fix
