It is most unfortunate. I am very sorry. I do not know what may have happened. I, and many others, have tried since last year's tournament ended to get in touch with the organiser. He has not replied to any of us. I would like to believe that there was a reason, though I agree that it is very difficult to understand. There is no reasonable way in which a tournament from May 2009 could now be rated, even were the report to be sent. Too many subsequent tournaments have now been rated. I have returned to re-organise the championship for 2010 and beyond. This year's tournament, with already more than 100 players registered, will most certainly be rated. Chris Field.
