Hi Nikhil, yes indeed, it is planned for May 16th and 17th.

Sorry to disappoint, but I’m categorised as B3 (smiley face). Funnily enough I
have recently been pondering ways that players in the B1 category might be
involved in coaching. Not in any serious way, just in a “wouldn’t that be
awesome” kind of way. Haven’t reached any conclusions yet, but I’d be super
interested to hear any ideas. I suspect, as you’ve hinted above, that this
starts with players mentoring and supporting each other and it seems you guys
are well on the way to that, which is cool.

That’s a large proportion of the number of players we typically see at
tournaments, so not bad going!
Looking forward to chatting.
Cheers
