Ironically, I’ve heard from many of you that plan on playing but haven’t registered. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It’s important to know that like many of you, others wait to see who is registered before they register themselves especially those out of town. If everyone adopts this attitude, it creates an unrealistic look at interest and in turn, nobody signs up. If you’re planning to play, I would register immediately.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We'll send an email this Thursday communicating any events that may be cancelled.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">----------------</div><div class=""><b class=""><font size="4" class="">MAIN EVENT Giant Round Robin:</font></b> We're accepting up to 72 players but will create smaller groups if necessary.

For your planning purposes today, my advice is to use the following chart to help you understand when you should be there. Take a look to see where you fall based on your Rating for the Main Event registration list and proceed as you see below.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bottom Half - Show up for a 9am start time</div><div class="">Top Half - Show up for a possible 10:30am start time</div><div class="">Top 10 - Show up for a 12 noon start time</div><div class="">Unrated - We'll be estimating your rating this week and place you accordingly.
