WOB February 23rd newsletter - upcoming tournaments and other news
Upcoming tournament(s) 4 players are currently registered for our next scholastic tournament which will be on March 12th ( this Sunday ) at 1:30 PM. Time controls will again be 4 SS G/15 (4 rounds, 15 minutes for both players to make their moves in a game, winners play winners and losers play losers, no eliminations). The deadline for registration is this Thursday midnight. Last month's tournament with same time controls ended a bit early at 3:20 PM; so this Sunday's tournament may end before 3:40 PM as well. As always, I award gold or silver medals to all players who participate in all four rounds.
