Event table notes

Event data
Name: Williams Creek Tournament
Place: Williams Creek
Start date: 10 Feb. 1865
End date: 10 Feb. 1865
 
Notes:
12-player knockout. Best of 5, or first to win 3, to decide each round. 11 of the names are given and we know that Fraser won his matches against D. McNaughton, John Elliott and J.S. Thompson without losing a game, but we don't know how many draws occurred in those matches. The only exact score given is that of the final between Steele and Fraser. The newspaper report cited by Wright indicates that the tournament was organized on Feb. 10 and that the final game was played on Feb. 10. Could this be right?
