It's time to start planning for the annual club tournament (which will take place June 11th, 18th and 25th). The club tournament is an NSA-rated tournament, but since it's a local tournament, any changes to your rating are divided by three. It will be held at the same time and place as the regular club meetings.
We will be honouring three club champions as usual this year (in divisions A, B and C) and will therefore be playing a three-division tournament. If you are contending for a divisional championship, you must play in your division in the tournament. If you are not, you may still play, and you may choose your division based on any club rating you have had this year, playing up or down if you are within 50 points of the division breaks 1350 and 1650. If you have played at least one game this year, your name should be listed below along with your division eligibility.
Asterisked players are in the running for the divisional championships; other players who choose to play do so solely for the glory of winning this nine-game tournament and for the fabulous cash prizes.
The following players have registered for the tournament (dollar-signs indicate players who haven't yet paid):
A Division Brenda* Evan* Fern* Glenn D* Glenn M* Libero* Lisa K Lynda* Mike K* Ray* Sal Steve Tony* Vijay* Zev* | B Division Garth Kristen$ Sophia Trevor* | C Division Abdul Ani* Anna* Barry* Curtis Denis* Jim W$ Karen Fa* Nick Roger* Shirley* Stan* Tonsen |
Please make sure that you are available on all three nights before deciding to play. If you can't make it one on of the nights, you are still welcome to drop by and play anyone else in the same situation.
If you would like to play, please pay Lisa Kessler $10 no later than June 4th. If you are not an NSA member, you do need to reactivate your membership to play, but we can do so on your behalf if you give us the US$20 renewal fee.
If according to the list below, you have a choice of division, please indicate your choice. If you cannot play on one of the three nights, you are still welcome to come and play informally (as during our summer hiatus). Thank you to the following players who have signed up to be the Word Judge: Joy (June 11th), Gene T (June 18th) and Kate (June 25th).
