Update on the June Thinker Quads

Matt the TD here… after some consideration I have decided to change the time control for this event from G60/d5 to G60/+30 (Game in 60, 30 second increment). As a result the final round games will begin as soon as possible (i.e. when the players are available) rather than all at a scheduled time. Please let me know if you have any questions; mwmarkland@gmail.com.

Right now, there are only a few folks registered. If there are not at least 12 players by Wednesday, June 10 I will probably not hold the event.
