[SBU Board] Vasa schdule--quick vote

[Raymond Miller]

Choice pairs:

This seems to have a shot at being taken seriously, soi I will comment.
1.  This is an event which compares scores from 2 of 32 sessions.  So it is
not a duplicate event because some people play sessions 1 and 2, some
sessions 2 and 3 etc.
2.  This is not a 1 session event as we typically hold on Friday.  So
anyone who chooses to play a single session is automatically excluded from
the overalls.
3.  Having worked all day, no one would come play in a single session event
that they have no chance of winning, so the chance of this being a draw for
the third session are amazingly remote.
4.  This is not a fast pairs, so those who thought a full length pair game
would get over to late and impact attendance for the next day would still
have a point.
5.  This would still leave the problem of not enough break between sessions
2 and 3, so anyone planning on playing those two sessions would still have
no time for a meal.

You may guess by now that I think this is a horrible idea, and I
emphatically vote to stay with no 3rd session over the choice pairs
option.
