2019 PHCC Championships - a new proposal


 


After the past few years of directing the PHCC Championships, I think that perhaps a new format might be in order. I am proposing that we run next year's championships on a single weekend in January with a 5 round swiss system format. Such a change could solve our weather issues, permit more participation from club members who just cannot make the demanding schedule on successive Thursdays and may even bring more participation from younger club players away at school who might be able to make a weekend tournament. Additionally, such a format should free up the winter Thursday schedule for more casual and challenge play, as well as shorter action and mini-Swiss events.


 


Please let me know your thoughts via email, I am very interested in soliciting member feedback! Lon
