7 March 2011: Open Rapid Tournament

This is an open one-game-a-week swiss event for juniors and adults of all strength.
It is intended to run from 6:30-7:30 each Monday except public holidays until finished, with games starting as close to 6:30 as practical.
Players wishing to enter on the first night must be present at 6:15. Players who miss the first round can enter from round 2 or 3.
A flier with rules (eg what to do if you have to miss a round) will be available on the 28th and players can enter before the event starts if they wish.

Time table

7 March	Open Rapid starts
14 March	Public holiday. To be determined whether adult club will open.

I hope the new format will be enjoyable - we have decided to start with a relatively light event and see how it goes.
The Club Championships will start later in the year.
