I will ask once more that if you are not going to attend please let me know as soon as possible so that I can try to re-pair your scheduled opponent or at least save them a trip to the club. Also note that this is a FIVE round tournament with the final round on September 29th.

I'm open to suggestions for October--Quads, Swiss, Quick Chess, Time Controls--please let me know via email or by adding a comment to this blog (see comments section at the bottom). I'm thinking about a 45/45 Quad. This would be 45 minutes with a 45 second increment. A typical 40-60 move game could take 2.5 to 3 hours. It would be regular rated only. Also the idea of starting each meeting with a brief lesson has been requested. I would try to start the lesson by 5:15 and finish between 5:30-5:40 once most of the tournament players had arrived (I'll gauge interest in this by attendance).
