Usually, it's completed at the tournament as Sean and one other (in this tournament, me) both do the inputting. Unfortunately, Sean wasn't able to help as much as usual because he was so busy being told how good his tournament was. :wink:

Allied to that, he had to pack up equipment for hastier-than-usual departure, due to him catching flights today. This meant I was left with a dozen or so games to do in the Major, which were completed by about 2pm today. The Open was still done last night. The Major Round 5 PGN is now in Sean's inbox, and I'm sure will be uploaded when he gets the opportunity!

Does anyone know when the e2e4 website will be updated ?
Whitsun has gone and people are wanting to enter for the July Sunningdale. These are the best Congresses, but knowing if they are on and trying to enter them is becoming problematic.

If you read my message again, you will see I said "that includes Sean". Maybe his email receiver is out of order.

Maybe it is. When I talked to him earlier he told me that he hadn't heard from you.

When you talked to him earlier, did he give any indication as to whether the July Sunningale is still on and if so, why we can't enter, or if it's not, why it is still shown on his calendar ?
