We are open as usual on Tue. There is a pro qual candidates meeting at 7pm.
Last reminder that pro quals are this week at SGC 01-06 JUL. Thanks very much to the several volunteers who will be recording games. Hot off the press is that they now want to live stream video of the players and board in addition to the game recording, so assume we have power and can set that up, there will be more viewing possibility. The schedule is:
* Wed-Thur 10am and 3pm game starts, 4 boards each round, 10 candidates round-robin
* Fri 10am game start, 4 boards, 10 candidates final round-robin round
* Sat 10am and 3pm game start, 2 boards, top 4 players, best of 3 for each pair of opponents
* Sun 10am and 3pm game start, one semi final round, one final round of top 2 players
* Mon 10am and (opt) 3pm game start, final rounds, best of 3 games between top 2 players
You are still welcome to come to SGC to watch games (with silenced phones or possibly phones checked at the doorway), but there will be restrictions on how close you can get to players and on bodily noises, exhalations, nodding, shaking the head, or any stimulus that could impact a players concentration or thoughts on the game. Yes, we know they are stronger than almost all of us, and they are supposedly pro level in concentration and clarity on their own game, but we can't be open to claims of game impact or influence.
Cheers,
Bill
