If rumours of the NAG dates being changed is true, need to adjust the kids' prep. Accordingly.

The National Age Group Chess Championship or commonly known as NAG is scheduled for the 12 - 14 April. ( NAG 2014, Event Dates
SOURCE ).
Based on 2013, Top 4 finishers in the respective categories, qualifies to be in the Malaysian Youth Squad in the respective categories. Privileges (IF ANY) is the opportunity to represent Malaysia in overseas events albeit with own funding. At times, organisers will also pick-up the tab for the player's expenses like accommodation and food.
Have been receiving emails from organisers promoting their respective events and at times parents asking when is the next competition suitable for their kid. As such, it would be good to match their needs here.
As a prelude to NAG 2014, would strongly suggest that parents send their kids to the following events i.e. (1), (3) & (5) to warm-up for NAG. Bear in mind that most of the "stronger" players will have been selected to play for their respective states and as such will be participating in the MSSM at Kuching-Sarawak from 24-28 March. Hence, they would have a slight advantage in terms of match practice.
