Everything is PRIME at The Gopher!

 

GAME TIMES

Our morning games start at 10:00 AM, giving everyone in the metro area plenty of time to get to the playing site after the morning rush hour.  The afternoon session starts at 2:15 PM and ends as the evening rush hour abates, giving players lots of time to go out for a nice dinner and still get home well before dark.

 

PRIME TIME KNOCKOUTS

The three full 4 session KO’s at the 2016 Gopher regional will have 2 session per day.  The sessions will be Monday/Tuesday afternoon and evening, Wednesday/Thursday afternoon and evening, and Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning and afternoon.  No more three sessions a day for the first knockout.

 

MASTERPOINT AVERAGING

All of the pair and Swiss team events feature masterpoint averaging.  This means that while you may have gone over a significant masterpoint milestone, your strata will be determined by the average masterpoints your partnership or team has.  The one exception to this in in the Gold Rush event where no one individual may have over 750 lifetime masterpoints.
