[SBU Board] Fwd: fyi--single session BAM back on the schedule at Sweetheart Sectional

[Ann Romeo]

After talking with Jeff tonight, I would like to propose to the board a
different event schedule for Vasa (and then also for the Memorial Day KO).
Basically: put FAST PAIRS back on the docket for the thirds session at Vasa
for 7:30.  AND have a pizza and salad meal ($5.00) for the HOUR we have
between the second and third session. AND make sure Fast pairs are really
fast pairs.  (this will be doable, esp with Tom on the board helping...)
then
Move the single session BAM to Friday night of the KO sectional in May.

Among the problems with the BAM at Vasa at the Sweetheart:

   - first no time to eat if you are playing in the earlier two session
   event, and
   - second, the session the next day on Saturday is early.  BAM needs to
   be done when we have a later starting time  the next day.


I'd like to have some email discussion amongst us all, and then a vote
Monday by 3:00.  Thoughts?

Thanks for considering all of this.

Ann
