Yes, we agreed to this at the recent board meeting, however some of us were discussing it with Nick yesterday at NSC. He was surprised and alerted us that in 199er games at open tournaments his recollection is that on the order of 80% of the players have under 20 points. That's a lot of entry fees. Going to free plays for <20 points without qualification would make it hard to withdraw it later; the idea arose of calling it a "special" for this tournament and then seeing it's effects. I'd like to hear John W's assessment of the potential long term financial impact of making the change permanent.</div><div><br></div><div>Tim</div><div><br><div><div>On Oct 9, 2016, at 8:44 AM, "Eng, Kim" <<a href="mailto:Keng@forestridge.org">Keng@forestridge.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">I agree with Mike about possibly adjusting the start times.
