After reading Rays description of choice pairs and with the short time between sessions it sounds like it is best to do only 2 sessions

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 way daytime people can play Morning/afternoon and working people could play afternoon/evening. I'm fine with either of these solutions and am not sure if choice pairs was brought up as an option during the meeting.
