[SBU Board] Sweetheart Sectional Flyer - for review

[Eng, Kim]

Wow, had no idea the % was that high. What about less than 5 MP's or less than 10 MP's? The idea is to welcome new players and try to get them hooked on our tournaments so they can see how fun they are, right? I think once a player has played enough to get 10 MP's (remember...they are much harder to come by when you are new...I remember it took a few scratches to get me to "1" :)), they have already decided they enjoy the game and will continue coming back.

Thanks JC,

Agree -- we should definitely change second session Saturday to 3:30.

Also agree with re-wording to "every board matters."

Re, the note about players with under 20 masterpoints play free.  Yes, we agreed to this at the recent board meeting, however some of us were discussing it with Nick yesterday at NSC.  He was surprised and alerted us that in 199er games at open tournaments his recollection is that on the order of 80% of the players have under 20 points.  That's a lot of entry fees.  Going to free plays for <20 points without qualification would make it hard to withdraw it later; the idea arose of calling it a "special" for this tournament and then seeing it's effects.  I'd like to hear John W's assessment of the potential long term financial impact of making the change permanent.

I agree with Mike about possibly adjusting the start times. I am sure people could find a place to eat and get back in time, but it won't be a relaxing lunch.

Also, the write up about the BAM doesn't make sense. It should read "every board matters", not every match.

Thanks!
Kim

Hi all,
Sorry about the delay on this. I ended up with less time on Thurs/Fri than I anticipated (but I picked up some silver points at the Las Vegas sectional, so yay!).
Attached is the draft Sweetheart Sectional flyer for the board's review.  This includes all the modifications we discussed at the past two unit board meetings, including location set to Bothell Union Hall.
Please review by 6pm on Monday.  (In particular, Tim, since you're my co-chair, if you could sign off affirmatively, I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks,
JC
