Weekends work well on this end

Weeknights after 5:30 or so Eastern are also fine
I am usually asleep (and play even worse than normal) by 10:00 or so

I think this is a great idea, Hamdi; and since you are the director, the rules are at YOUR discretion... However I would personally prefer that everything be allowed. Weekends and Wednesdays work best for me.

I won't play under ACBL GCC rules. I'd love to play otherwise, and I generally agree with less boards and more time per board.

Also, I would hope to be able to play with non-forum members as most of my regular pards are not on the forum.

It all depends "conventions" agreed by everybody. For me just a partner nick is okay to allow registry . But maybe you convince your friends to join forum. :)

I know, i am not a good seller. That's why they usually type "good try" to table. Anyway I am a good buyer :rolleyes:

ACBL GCC rules.

No idea what it includes, but from what I've heard I'm not really interested.

I think it sounds like a fun tournament. My only comment about what restrictions to apply is from a practical point of view. The TD may have a difficult time applying rulings to issues that are unfamiliar or unknown.

Cool beans. Another one to kibitz. :)
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Would be fun to play. I'd prefer no bidding restrictions (I'm not too familiar with ACBL GCC anyway). I can't do this saturday though (unless its late-ish, like 7pm or later EST.

Indys are easy to jump in. Pairs requires a partner. ;)

Do you mind if kibitzers disallowed? If you insist let's hear clunk voice. Why don't you toss a coin into "long live forums" chorus inbox :)

I beg your pardon? Have I done something to offend you vuroth? Not worths to find a partner and join the party?

I cordially invite all forum members and their guests. Boom boom :)

It is up to participants wish. Mine was a joke for Vuroth.
