[Mezza]

Dear All,

I regret to inform you guys that this tournament has been put on hold and considerations are being made to reinstate it during the June holidays instead. Thanks to everyone who signed up to show support but unfortunately there just wasn't enough participants to justify running the tournament.

School's out and the exams have ended, and what are you going to do with your free time?
