Dear all, sincere apology for the delay in the release of the U2200 tournament. This has been due to the corrections of several errors of Fide IDs that were submitted & more were found out after the provisional list was released. Thankfully, we are wrapping up on the few remaining forms & the results will be published tomorrow evening. As such the Unity Management Team has revised the registration forms/process. This will ensure these errors are not repeated in the forthcoming Mega Event & future events. Your Country Representative will advise on the new process of registration.

Regards,
