I plan to have my program LambChop play in this event.

Sep 23-34 seems much too soon, so I'll definitely go for Oct 21-22.
I prefer the 30 10 time control.

If we go for 30 10, I think we can fit 9 rounds into 2 days.  9 rounds is much
better than 8 because you don't get such big colour allocation imbalances.

The early rounds tend to have shorter games, so I'd suggest 5 rounds on day 1, 4
on day 2.

I think each round would take between 1:15 and 1:30, so day one would be around
6.5-7.5 hours playing time in total.  This isn't so much is it?


cheers,
Peter
