I'm a yes vote for 3
sessions regardless of choice pairs. I think fast pairs is fine too. A
big part of that is part of the discussion last year was that we should
try it for two years before making any permanent decisions. I think that
holds true for both the daytime pairs and the fast pairs (imo). I
didn't actually think of the "not single sessions" aspect of choice
pairs, just remembered doing it and people liking it elsewhere. I would
be amenable to Friday now needing 2 sessions though since
Morning/Afternoon isn't particularly great for worker bees anyway so the
benefit (can just play the evening session) becomes a lot less
relevant.<br>
<br>
That said, while I think its right to try 3 sessions with a fast for one
more year, I don't feel nearly as strongly about it as some other
things.<br>
<br>

<br>
p.s. I'm a no vote on holding a BAM in the 3rd session regardless of
everything else. I think its a fast pairs or choice pairs or no bridge.<br>
