[SBU Board] Revised Harvest Sectional flyer - for board review ASAP

Wed Jun 5 10:08:39 PDT 2019

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe we have always purchased a 2 session entry at the time of purchase for the qualifying pairs.

I believe that if you wish to be eligible for the 2nd session of a 2 session event, you have to purchase a 2 session entry at the time of purchase.  The consolation pairs is not a separate event.  It is for those that purchased a 2 session entry and did not qualify.

You can decline to play in the 2nd session, qualified or not, doesn’t matter, inform the director and they will make adjustments as needed, but you do not get your money back(same as a normal 2 session pairs event) and you certainly do not get to make that decision after you did or did not qualify.

You can purchase a single session entry at the time of purchase, but you do not get to play in the finals, regardless if you qualified and change your mind.  You can buy into the consolation pairs if you want, as can anyone.

Carryover noted. I had missed that on the prior events and will correct to:
(About half the field will qualify, up to two board carry-over)

The Consolation pairs is a separate single session event. I'm not okay changing the wording on that.  Open pairs participants are not required to play in, nor pay for, the consolation pairs if they fail to qualify. (I'm not sure forcing them to enter it is even an option allowed by the event type.)

I'd like to hear opinions on Monty's suggestion re: changing the title of the Swiss?  I'm okay with whatever change we make to the title...I'm all for making as low-confusion as possible.

Evidence
http://live.acbl.org/event/1710186/2801/2/recap<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flive.acbl.org%2Fevent%2F1710186%2F2801%2F2%2Frecap&data=02%7C01%7C%7C8833688b65654231320608d6e9d399f4%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636953492363442053&sdata=kA0klrK5fnjSXrb7MAsWOw6qaOfFdP88yUx0%2BIGmiHY%3D&reserved=0>

Also, the director will often qualify enough pairs to get to a good movement, which is generally more but can occasionally be slightly less than half the field.

Suggest changing
Open Pairs Qualifier (50% of the field will qualify for the finals, no carry-over)
to
Open Pairs Qualifier (About half the field will qualify for the finals, two board carry-over)

And to emphasis that the consolation pairs entry is included with the qualification pairs buy in

Stratified Consolation Pairs (single session)
to
Stratified Consolation Pairs (single session buy in ok)

Mike & Monty - please check closely & let me know if you would like any changes. (Monty confirmed he had volunteered as Lane's replacement for this one. Thanks, Monty!)

All board members - please help double-check for typos.

Note to all - I called Sunday's event a "Stratified Matchpoint (BAM) Swiss" instead of just calling it a BAM Swiss, to try to reduce confusion with the less-popular BAM Teams event, per someone's (not sure who? apologies for lack of credit) suggestion from last night. I have no idea if the ACBL will be okay with that wording or not, but we'll see after we submit. From some casual chat with TDs, it seems like it should be okay.

Please review ASAP. Barring any responses telling me otherwise, I will submit to the ACBL tomorrow evening.
