[SBU Board] Please Review Proposed 2018 Tournament Lineup

[Aslin, John (Perkins Coie)]

Tim, I'll miss Monday meeting because will be out of town.  I'm sure the Committee has thoughtfully considered all the options, and I have no issues with the proposed calendar.

Subject: [SBU Board] Please Review Proposed 2018 Tournament Lineup

To streamline our board meeting this coming Monday evening, I would like to ask that ahead of the meeting you please review the attached file.  It is the planning calendar our Tournament Sites Committee (Ann, John W, Patti, David. Larry and me) developed and used as a tool to identify, consider and formulate proposed dates and sites for our 4 open and 2 NLM tournaments in 2018.  I handed out a hard copy during our last board meeting.

Proposed 2018 dates generally follow the pattern of our 2016 and 2017 tournaments.   We propose: (a) our usual winter sectional in February, (b) our traditional Memorial Day tournament as these dates also work well with the Bothell Union Hall folks, (c) our Suntan sectional on dates that are intended to fit with school summer schedules, (d) fall sectional in Kent in September on the (only) dates we have protected for us by Kent Commons, so as to service south county members, and (e) NLM sectionals on dates that Patti's experience suggests would best service unit membership.

In formulating this proposal, our committee identified relevant constraints (holidays, NABCs, US Bridge Federation Championships, District level events, and Unit level events in geographic and calendar proximity) and worked its way through pros and cons of available candidate dates.

On Monday evening, I'd prefer not to re-hash the end-to-end steps our committee went through to develop the proposed lineup, but rather focus on the advisability of the proposed dates & sites and address any specific alternative dates and/or sites the board feels should be considered.  One of the things to address as we go through this is the status of Forest Ridge School as a future site.  Our objective Monday evening will be for the board to approve a 2018 lineup, as we need to move on with acquiring sanctions.

Thanks,
Tim
