Friday's tournament has been submitted for rating.

-More space for players (the office will be converted to a playing room to space things out.

-Sportsmanship is very serious. When a player shows bad sportsmanship, that player will be forfeited, suspended, or warned.

-We ask the parents to stay in the hallway for two reasons: We need space for the players. We need to keep things 100% fair.

-Tournament directors are referees that have to proactively referee games. I personally try my best to be polite and helpful, but I have to focus more on watching the games. So I request that you email me at jeff@chesspanda.com and if I don't get back to you right away feel free to forward me the email again. I'm trying to improve catching up with emails.
