| There is no leeway in the 2003 timetable. Instead, two 4-day breaks have been scheduled. We hope to have | ||||||||
| no WTC games played in these breaks to give you & the controllers a short rest and try to beat the 'tournament | ||||||||
| fatigue' that can set in when players have a long run in the WTC. If you have limited availability in the period | ||||||||
| allowed for any round, please find out which player/s you might meet in the next round even before you have | ||||||||
| played your match in the previous round. Arrange times to play them conditional on you both getting through. | ||||||||
| Start dates, deadlines & numbers of games are shown below for each round in the main draw: | ||||||||
