There will be 7 rounds at  2½ hours per round ( hours) per game. We will play in the Conference Room 1st floor. We start play each day at 9:00 am.  4 rounds Friday, 1 round before lunch and break for a 1 hour lunch at 11:30 until 12:30 (various restaurants are open, then 3 rounds afterwards, we start at 9am for 3 rounds Saturday - 2 rounds before lunch then break for a 1 hour lunch, and 1 rounds afterwards, hopefully finished by 6:30 pm.  All players are charged an entry fee of $25. Tournament Referee will prompt slow players to finish their games on time. If this doesn't work a designated GM will judge the game as a W-L-D. Simple decrementing digital time clocks are available. Set each side to 37 minutes, so when your time runs out game is over. If you have a win position but can't finish it in your remaining clock time then negotiate an agreed draw or get the referee to award you a draw instead of losing on time.
