<div dir="ltr">Choice pairs:<div><br></div><div>This seems to have a shot at being taken seriously, soi I will comment. </div><div>1. This is an event which compares scores from 2 of 32 sessions. So it is not a duplicate event because some people play sessions 1 and 2, some sessions 2 and 3 etc. </div><div>2. This is not a 1 session event as we typically hold on Friday. So anyone who chooses to play a single session is automatically excluded from the overalls. </div><div>3. Having worked all day, no one would come play in a single session event that they have no chance of winning, so the chance of this being a draw for the third session are amazingly remote. </div><div>4. This is not a fast pairs, so those who thought a full length pair game would get over to late and impact attendance for the next day would still have a point. </div><div>5. This would still leave the problem of not enough break between sessions 2 and 3, so anyone planning on playing those two sessions would still have no time for a meal. </div><div><br></div><div>You may guess by now that I think this is a horrible idea, and I emphatically vote to stay with no 3rd session over the choice pairs option. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Sep 10, 2018 at 3:12 PM Monty Gray <<a href="mailto:mlgrayjr@gmail.com">mlgrayjr@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="#954F72"><div class="m_-6877417959455977222WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">I vote for no third session.
