It is very funny to look at at the moment, because the front page just has the headers for the two tables! i.e.

Just a wee note to let you know that the Entries / Results page for the Interclub part of the event is now working.

And @ladyjane - there is a VERY large Dutch contingent going to Riga. By my counting, there is a grand total of 35 Dutch girls across the various levels in both parts of the event. :jaw:

Wow! Thanks.
 
This starts today with a great line-up in junior and senior men. :jump:

In the past, live streams have appeared on these channels, hope we will get something for this competition too.

Nothing yet, but I guess we'll find out nearer 15:00 EET.

By the way, since the timetables at the bottom of the Entries / Results Pages are up the creek, here is the latest revision of the Time Schedule PDF, published yesterday:

Update - it's on SolidSport :bang: :bang: :bang:

There are actually two different channels streaming it - one for viewers within Latvia, and one for viewers outside Latvia.

Latvia channel - https://solidsport.com/volvo-open-cup-lv
International channel - https://solidsport.com/volvo-open-cup

Well, at least now I won't have to worry about playing catchup after my dentist's appointment tomorrow.

Oh nice, I've grown to appreciate SolidSports. At least the streams won't get taken down due to copyright issues, and why shouldn't the organizers get a few Euros for their efforts? Looking forward to watching the men's competitions. 😺

Oh, I don't begrudge the organisers getting some extra income. But I do begrudge Solidsports taking half of the money. (And they do - it says so on the homepage of the site).

That's why I wouldn't have anything to do with these fundraising websites either. Because they take a cut of the money raised.

In case anybody is thinking about watching, the live stream isn't working. :( It cut out during the women and hasn't returned since.
Edit: It came back!!!!

The stream quality is comically bad, but Arlet just landed a 3A in the SP!!!! :yahoo: The jump looked a little tight from what I could make out among the pixels and constant stop-and-go. Let's see how the judges will score it.
... And the stream is dead again. I won't bother with it tomorrow anymore. Pity, I would have loved to see Kyrylo and Arlet's FS and everybody else of course.
 
Day 2 starts with the older Advanced Novice girls. 30 of them, arranged into two groups of 7 girls; followed by a resurfacing; followed by two groups of 8 girls.
