Rating List Policy Change

Effective July 27, we will be using the most recent rating list to pair our events, instead of the current month's list.

Thus, the ratings we use in the latter half of a month will be more up to date and representative than they are now.

In addition to the July 27th Quads, the change will affect: the August 24th Quads, October 19th Octos, October 26th Quads & whatever we decide to run on November 23rd, November 30th, & in late December.

The no rating-request policy will continue.

New Registration & Round Times

Starting on June 22, our regular hours will be 1:15-7:45 p.m.

For most events, our official registration period will be 1:15 to 1:45 p.m. From 1:46 until 2:00 we will list-check and do a final confirmation via roll call. Once the roll call ends entries will be closed!

From 2:01-2:14 we will divide the players into sections and make the 1st round pairings.

Play is scheduled to begin at 2:15 p.m. Rounds 2 & 3 are slated for 4:00 & 5:45.

We expect quads & octos to end around 7:15 p.m. & be submitted for rating by 7:30.
