              Hi Gary:

              It might help for Torontonians, if it can be confirmed that there is not going to be any Toronto Labour Day Open this year on the first weekend of September.

              The reason I wonder this is that neither the key organizer, Randy Moysoski, nor the usual arbiter, Bryan Lamb, have made any post to my knowledge that it is going to happen this year. I have checked the CFC Calendar and GTCL calendar, and it is NOT there (at least not yet, with only about a month to go). Can you confirm whether it is NOT happening??

                Re : Re: 2015 Mississauga Open

                I was wondering playing 3 games on the same day with the time control of 90/30 is that too tough ?

                Here in Quebec we dont see that we have our ''traditional '' week-end tournament beginning friday night but this formula saturday, sunday i think must be try someday in quebec.

                Another idea will be to start on friday night ,play 3 games on saturday , and 2 on sunday for 6 rounds ,what do you think of the formula.

                Why always 5 rounds since 99 years :)

                  Three games a day can be challenging, for the players sure, but for the organizers as well. One year, we had round 1 games and round 2 games go very long on the increment. Round 3 thus started very late. As I recall, it was after 7pm. Many parents of younger players were very restless, “why don’t you at least get the U1600 section started”. Well, that is very problematic for the TD’s, getting rounds started while some games still in progress. Anyway, we eventually got thru it, and I vowed never again. Well, here we are again.

                  I have toyed with the concept of a smaller increment. But lots of you think I’m nuts. But I have another brainstorm for your consideration. How about adjourned games?

                  You should notice that we have a late start on sunday. Round 4 is at noon. That’s so that we are not fighting for parking spaces with the church people attending sunday service. Church service ends at 11:30am, so noon should be okay. But this also gives us an opportunity. Instead of playing out long endgames on saturday, and delaying the rounds, we adjourn games, seal a move, and resume the games sunday morning. Thoughts?

                    Most Ottawa tournaments used to be 3 games Saturday; 2 games Sunday. I think so many people were taking byes in round 3 (including me) that they changed it to one game on Friday night; then 2+2.

                      Well, the opposite is true in some other locations. It used to be 1-2-2, but it became 0-3-2, since many people took byes for friday nights, including myself. Now there are a substantial number of byes on saturday. So what do you do?

                        Of course - those Ottawa events were mostly in the days before sudden-death time controls, so round 3 could drag on to (or after) midnight - with a 10 am (sometimes 9 am) start the next day.

                          The Ottawa tournaments are all FIDE rated.

                          It is a FIDE rating requirement to have no more than 12 hours of play in one day. If one player is over 2200 then each player must have 120 minutes to make 60 moves. This calculation is based on games that last 60 moves, although games played using increments may last longer.

                          Bottom line is that 90 minutes + 30 seconds per move is the fastest FIDE time control allowed and 3 rounds in a day will probably exceed 12 hours of play.

                            So, my proposal of adjourned games played out sunday morning, limiting saturday games to 4 hours each, thus not exceeding the 12 hour daily maximum, is sheer genius. :)

                            Thank you. Thank you very much!

                              Any comments, for or against, my suggestion of adjourned games on saturday completed on sunday morning?

                              I'm not kidding, it is a serious idea!
