Pards, actually we had bad experience in this tourney, it didn't start 10am as announced then the arbiter initially adviced first round would be at 1230am, so Caritas' teacher hauled to kids to a Chowking outlet across the street only to find out upon return that the sked was changed and round 1 went on while they were having lunch. So, napakasakit kuya Eddie default sa 1st round both Elem and HS teams.
Also noteworthy as not above board move is LSGH HS team actually 'borrowed' a Don Bosco Manda player for their Board 2, and they had no Board 4. I let the organizer know this, but didn't get specific feedback on their actions.
