The consensus was to have each round last no more than 2 hours. First day = 5 rounds x 2 hours = 10 hours + 15 mins between rounds to ensure proper pairings. That is a long day. The second day isn't much shorter either. And you can bet if Uri joins he will stretch that 50 + 3 into a day somehow :) Peter
