For the last year or 2, unrated tournaments with quick time controls are getting more and more popular in the province, while there's a decrease in the # of tourneys with slower time controls. So far Mr. Aaron C, tournament director for the UBC Thurs. night swiss, is doing his job to keep the tournament alive (although the # of players at UBC has drastically dropped over the last few years), while the Keres last month was held in a packed room at sprott shaw.
Just wondering if CFC & BCCF officials as well as tournament directors would promote and run more tournaments with slower TCs in the province.
thanks in advance:D

... are subject to space availability/ rental agreements. In most cases this is prohibitive unless there's a schedule of once a week meetings in the same place and players can commit on showing up (at least) 5 weeks in a row to finish a tournament.
What slower time control do you have in mind?

Hey Berthold, I hope you are going to make it to the Langley open on the labor day weekend. It's always a lot of fun.

This has not been used for years and I doubt you could find too many willing to revive it. In my opinion the slowest you can hope for is: game in 90 minutes plus 30 seconds per move.

It's quite similar to what will be used in the Closed though....

Hi Chris:
Don't suppose there's anything that can yet be made public about the " Closed " ?
