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. There are various restaurants close by and of course The Bar & Grill "Rosie's 777 Game Room" on the 2nd floor is open for club sandwiches, burgers, etc.Then after lunch we play 3 more rounds. We start at 9am for our 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. All players will us time clocks so our tournament stays on schedule. Any disagreements will settled by the GM Tournament Referee. We will supply DGT NA incrementing clocks as well as a simple decrementing digital time clocks, set each side to 37 minutes, so when your time runs out the 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. Masters will use the DGT North American time clock. Set time clock for the 75 minutes per game as 35 + 3 per side. Please Obey Playing Room Etiquette posted on the wall.
