[SBU Board] Fwd: NLLM Spring Sectional

[Tim White]

Hi JC,

Please read the email string below.  Two players in the NLM on Sunday were disappointed with the awards for the single session Swiss, unaware that the event does not award overalls.  We'll need to respond to them.  In doing so we should consider whether and what to say about the destiny of this event going forward, and/or whether clarification on the flyer is enough.  Perhaps your experience/knowledge from the events committee would be helpful in this consideration.

Thanks,
Tim

> I think we need a clean, clear explanation for these gentlemen.  I understand what they don't get....the ranking doesn't hold unless it holds throughout the 6 round event.  Playing single session Swiss does not award you the results of a full session swiss.  They did win something, for winning a round, but not the total match awards--they did not play the total match.

> Our team played 24 boards in an 11 table Swiss team event.   For the morning session, we were first in C, tied for first in B, and tied for second in A.  We should receive master points based on that.   Those that ply both sessions are eligible for greater points because they are being scored based on 48 boards.  If that is not the case, it should be clear before our team invests our time, effort and $40 registration fee.

> However, I have to protest one item.  The Swiss pairs today were advertised as either a single session or a double session (see attached)..  But the scoring was done only for the double session; it appears that our score was calculated as a zero for the second session (we could not play the second session).  If that is true, please make this clear in future flyers; if we had been aware of this scoring, we would have simply played pairs.  At least, please indicate in the final scoring the teams that only played one session.
