The program for the Seniors on Saturday and Sunday has been changed as follows: All team captains please are asked to be sure that they check the scores with their opponents and hand in their FULLY COMPLETED results sheets to the Results Desk as soon as possible after the end of play. The Results Desk is situated outside the Main Ball Room in Lobby 2, opposite the main (marble) staircase. On Saturday there will be three matches with starting times of 13.30, 15.45 and 18.00. On Sunday there will be two matches with starting times of 10.45 and 13.30. After these two matches, the Seniors’ Congress meeting will start at 15.15 in Loby 3 (F2). Captains failing to hand in their results delay the publication of results and cause inconvenience to the organisers and to other teams waiting to see the results. For the Women’s series, the starting time for the final three rounds on Saturday have been changed to 11.00, 14.00 and 17.00.
