the news of 2008 全国赛 did publish in the newspaper (I saw it but I could not recall the date).
Since 2000, we all know 全国赛 held in May/Jun school holidays of each year (except 2006 in July), for any player if really want to join, can pay a visit to SIXGA or just give a call around mid May each year (or leave your contact number to SIXGA if they do call the players).
The officials of SIXGA did call many players included unrated ones but personally I do not agree to the action as all are volunteers and why we expect the officials to do until such extents.
We have spent more than enough times on the competition issues may be SIXGA can discuss with all clubs if needed when meet the next time.
