<DIV>I have no strong view on this, and will defer to the majority.</DIV>
<DIV>But I am a little concerned that our experimentation will lead to possible

<DIV>Whatever Friday afternoon start time we select, we should give it special

<DIV>There will be no chance at the tournament for any verbal heads-up about
that time.</DIV>

<DIV class=h5>> At the last meeting we said that we could avoid meeting in
April so long as we resolved the start times for our July tournament over
email with the sentiment that we would do morning/afternoon for at least part
of the tournament.<BR>><BR>> The 10:30 / 4:00 Saturday times worked well
at the I/N tournament, and I propose we use the same times in July. I think
this is the least controversial part of the discussion.<BR>><BR>> What
to do on Friday is more interesting. The first question is how early we can
get in the building for setup (and how early people are willing to arrive for
setup). Susan, do you know what is the earliest we can be in the
building?<BR>><BR>> The second question, assuming we don't have building
constraints is when to play on Friday. I think there are three main
options:<BR>><BR>> 1. Play at 10:30 & 4:00, just like
Saturday.<BR>> 2. Play at noon and 5:30 or 6:00.<BR>> 3. Play at 1:00
and 6:30 or 1:30 and 7:00.<BR>><BR>> Option 1 has the disadvantages of
early setup and no evening session for working people, and the advantages of
being consistent (10:30 every day) and finishing plenty early for the early
Saturday start. Option 2 has the advantage of setting up a little bit later,
and potentially allowing working people to play the second session, but the
disadvantage of a meal at 4:00. Option 3 has the disadvantage of playing late
then starting early, but the advantage of having an available session for
working people. (Is this important with the tournament in Bothell? I'm not
sure how many Seattle people would come over anyway.)<BR>><BR>> Please
reply with your preference among the Friday options as well as anything else
you want to add to the discussion.<BR>><BR>> Thanks,<BR>><BR>>
