  • Alert for July 10, Round 2

The AC at our site is broken and probably not fixed in time to have any positive effect for us tonight

We visited the site at about Noon today and it was 66% humidity and 77 degrees inside the hall.

It was a bit stuffy (no fans were turned on yet) but it did not seem "hot' It may get hotter during the day but then should start cooling back down again in the evening.

If you feel you will be too uncomfortable, you should request a Bye, else, come and play.

If you wish to take a Bye, log into the registration site and click the request link next to your name and select round 2 for tonight and save your changes..

Byes must be taken before 7:15 pm or you will be paired.
