What You Need to Know:
With 8-24 people, we will have 4 rounds of swiss and a cut to top 4. However, if we have less than 8 we might need to re-organize the structure a bit so it is important for me to get a head count ASAP in order to determine how best to announce the tournament.
In general (unless this grows out of hand in popularity and numbers) I think I'd like to keep these tournaments under 5 hours so a strict 50 minute rounds rule will be applied. We are starting an hour earilier to ensure that even if the rounds go to time, we have sufficient time to finish before the store closes
When?
Sunday August 16th, 2009
Arrive at 2:30 to register. The tournament begins at 3:00 sharp Please, PLEASE be on time or, IF you think you'll be late then call me or cell message me at (917) 561-5224 and let me know.
***NEW*** I ask all participants to prepare their deck lists ahead of time. These will be collected at the end of swiss so I can prepare an adequate TO report to post here on the drain.
