  1. Run it in late April or even early May – still a lot of players down south in March and early April
  2. Get rid of the 30+ category
  3. Have 35+, 40+, 45+, 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+ categories
  4. If less than three players/team in any event collapse into the next lower age category
  5. Three to Five players Round Robin no consolation
  6. Six or more players Main Round with Consolation and use seeds to play and defeat lesser teams – don’t give them byes this way you have more players in the consolation and lesser players don’t always get two and done
  7. Make sure that you do not run the Masters close to the social tournament
  8. Try to get more social players into the Masters especially in the 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+ .... the 35+, 40+ and 45+ are too competitive for the social players but if we spoke to the 50+ and 55+ players like Chris Dorey he could “go easy” on the rookie social players
  9. Make sure we get this out to all the clubs and City of Ottawa facilities ... I have seen a few of the drop in players some are not bad at all but some are not good. Also a fair number of women are drop in only players and we always need more women

9:01 am		Yes I am planning to play, but just the single.
At 58, being in the same category as the 45 years old... Gee, It will be a massacre!
Hope they follow sugestion to put age group to 50-55-60 etc.

We are looking for a new date possible in March to host this tournament. A master Tournament with more than 4 age category should be running on both Saturday and Sunday not Friday evening and half of Saturday. Please send your suggestions and comments to odbaweb@gmail.com. We need your support to make this event successful.

Thank you!
