Hi Jim and all,The 960 Tournament was really a lot of fun, when we did it a
couple of years ago. That sounds like a great idea! I would play in a normal
Swiss Tournament, if you choose to go that way, as well.

USBCAers,The USBCA very definitely Does still have a Realtime, i.e. skype,
division. I am the Assistant TD in charge of it. Unfortunately, the last, what,
three months or so have been so chaotic in my life, not to mention so totally
overrun with more tournaments than most mortals can keep up with, that it just
didn’t seem feasible to try to organize yet another one. Having said that,
allow me to use this note to call for player interest. I am considering a
chess960 tournament, with a time control of 30/60 cumulative, or perhaps a
normal Swiss with a somewhat compressed time schedule. I’m thinking possibly
game/60. If you are interested in one of those, or if you have yet another
suggestion, please let me know during the next week. I’m thinking that rounds
will be two weeks in length. For reasons which I won’t go into just yet, I’d
like to have the tournament run from the beginning of August through the end of
September, keeping those last three months clear for purposes to be named
later. Let me hear from you,Jim T From: usbca_chess-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: [usbca_chess] Real Time Division? Does it still exist? Hello All,A
lot of people ask me, "Does the US BCA still have a Real Time (Skype)
Division?". I don't know the answer, so I am posting it to the list.Curtis
