The Gopher Regional is only 2 weeks away!
Sunday, May 30, will be quite a day at the Gopher Regional. The premier event is a two session, Flighted Pairs. At 1:30, Flight A players will play in a qualifying session in the John Boeder Memorial pairs. The top pairs from that session will then test their skills in the John Boeder Memorial Barometer Final. (In a barometer game, all tables play the same boards during the same round. Standings are posted after each round. Thus, competitors know where they - and their opponents - stand throughout the game.)
Meanwhile, players in Flights B, C, and D play in a separate section. Their game is a two session playthrough (overall awards are based on the two session total). Some of the masterpoint awards will be gold points. While I/N players may continue to play in the I/N games this day, they should consider playing in this event in Flight D. It will be exciting!
On top of all of this, the tournament is offering a free dinner to all afternoon/evening players! Check the link on this blog for a flyer, and we will see you at the Gopher!
