$100 Open Prize – 4 Round G40, d5
G40, d5 is the longest we can easily make and still complete in about 5 to 6 hours.
We are doing a longer time control to help people get ready for the State Championships in Harrkbur the following weekend.
The 1st round will start at 12 and the other rounds – roughly 12, 1:30, 3, and 4:30 (will be paired as soon as possible.)
The sections are Open, Under 1100, Under 800, and Under 500 (sections are chosen to copy some of the sections at the state championship the following weekend.) The Open has 3 trophy prizes and a $100 for first place. The other sections will have at least three trophy prizes. Hope to see everyone there!

YET MORE PRACTICE!!

Since states is almost here we are throwing in an extra event. Trophies to top 3 per section. Trophies will have inaccurate labels as we just came up with this event this afternoon.
Sections Under 400, Under 800, Under 1200
States is 40 d5, but everyone plays faster so we can play 4 rounds of g/25, d5.
There is a 1600 who wants to play tomorrow a 1300 who can play from 1 to 3. I can be a little flexible for the open if we have some players interested.
