Hi All,

This is just a reminder of our general rule that tournament players can request 
a reasonable amount of reflection time suspension for a vacation or holiday.  
The only restriction is that both the Tournament Director and your opponent be 
informed within two weeks of the scheduled absence (this was originally three 
weeks, but two seems plenty).

Since many of you have family commitments or are traveling around the end of 
the year, you may want to take advantage of the rule.  This will not affect 
game start dates, however so be careful.

Another addition to the Fall-Winter Theme Tournament rules.  If both players 
want to begin their scheduled game before the official first of each month 
starting date, that is permitted.  I mention this because one game in the first 
round is already completed and others will soon arrive.  So if you want to get 
started early on the next months game go ahead, but both must agree.  In any 
case the game must start no later then the scheduled date.

Richard
