<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Steve, you do get it. And yes, I think there should never be a single session swiss in conjunction with a two-session swiss event. I think we were at fault by not trying to convince you and your team to play in the single session pairs event, where you would receive full match awards for your results. I'll let Jenni (the director) send an official explanation to your team. Mind you there were three teams that bought single swiss entries; two in the first session, one in the second session. All of the single session teams were C strat. The one C team that played both sessions earned the most imps for that strat (48) and won the strat.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">We'll take this up with the unit board.

<p class="MsoNormal">Our team played 24 boards in an 11 table Swiss team event. For the morning session, we were first in C, tied for first in B, and tied for second in A. We should receive master points based on that. Those that ply both sessions are
eligible for greater points because they are being scored based on 48 boards. If that is not the case, it should be clear before our team invests our time, effort and $40 registration fee.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ann and Patti:<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for co-chairing the NLM Spring Sectional this weekend at the Seattle Bridge Center. I know that these tournaments take a lot of work and those of us who play greatly appreciate your efforts. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I have to protest one item. The Swiss pairs today were advertised as either a single session or a double session (see attached).. But the scoring was done only for the double session; it appears that our score was calculated
as a zero for the second session (we could not play the second session). If that is true, please make this clear in future flyers; if we had been aware of this scoring, we would have simply played pairs. At least, please indicate in the final scoring the
teams that only played one session. <u></u><u></u></p>
