<DIV>Hi all:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My friend Roger Lowe has been thinking about our Swiss games and has some
interesting suggestions which I will summarize below. More detail is
available in a series of email between me,Roger and Matt Koltnow.</DIV>
<DIV>I can forward all that to any one interested. Ideas are well worth
considering,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Finding one’s table is often a problem. Sections can be hard
to locate and table numbers are covered with cards and boards. Roger suggests
section markers and some additional table markers. Table ID could be on a
wand or a vertical tab clamped to table corner (Matt notes this could be a
problem when directors have to shuffle tables.) Roger volunteers to develop some
sample table markers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Caddies (or someone) should check for sharp pencils before the
start of the Swiss. (I know we do this at set up but maybe not enough
later.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. The table assignments are often hard to read. Roger suggests
larger lettering with sans serif font for legibility. Also the board or
tab holder could be on an easel in front of the directors table.</DIV>
