[SBU Board] Vasa schdule--quick vote

I'm a yes vote for 3 sessions regardless of choice pairs. I think fast
pairs is fine too. A big part of that is part of the discussion last
year was that we should try it for two years before making any permanent
decisions. I think that holds true for both the daytime pairs and the
fast pairs (imo). I didn't actually think of the "not single sessions"
aspect of choice pairs, just remembered doing it and people liking it
elsewhere. I would be amenable to Friday now needing 2 sessions though
since Morning/Afternoon isn't particularly great for worker bees anyway
so the benefit (can just play the evening session) becomes a lot less
relevant.
That said, while I think its right to try 3 sessions with a fast for one
more year, I don't feel nearly as strongly about it as some other things.
Eric
p.s. I'm a no vote on holding a BAM in the 3rd session regardless of
everything else. I think its a fast pairs or choice pairs or no bridge.
