June Ladder Tournament Announcement

Hello, everyone! The following information for our June ladder tournament comes from Tim. You can reach out to him at timmcentee@msn.com.

For June, we are going to play at the MidAmerican Rec Plex, Overlook room (same place as the league) on Monday nights (June 3, 10, 17, 24).  There will be 2 sections, 1 rated and 1 unrated.  We have the room from 6:30pm to 9:30pm, so I have adjusted the schedule listed below to reflect this.  The cost will be $5 per night, which can be paid each week, or you can pay for the whole month.  We will use a ladder pairing system with the point you will play the person closest to you in rating but have not played previously during the month.  There may be other adjustments - for example, if 2 people travel together to play in the event; I will not pair them with each other without confirming they are ok with that.  The time control will be game 60/ with 5 second delay.  The room rental for the month is $420; if I receive enough entry fees to cover the room rental, I will look at adding some special prizes.

Nightly schedule

6:30pm - room becomes available though I will be on the first floor around 6pm

6:45pm - I will need confirmation by this time if you are playing on a given night either by being there or giving me assurances you will be there

6:46pm - I will make pairings for the evening for both sections

7:00pm - round will start

as with the league, I will be as flexible as possible, but don't want someone to show up and not get a game or wait an hour for someone to show up.  

If you think you will be playing, please let me know as I can use that information to tell others how many to expect on a given evening.  Also, let me know i you have any questions.

Thanks, Tim
