Thank you for this thoughtful reply to Chris' ideas.
I might have missed it, but have we considered yet the program being implemented by US Chess?

I would like to send out a big special thanks to Bob for the SO MUCH that he does!!
Also thank to Don, George, Brian for the support that they're providing to Bob/us!!

Thanks to Chris and Don for these ideas. I also fully support anything that can help-protect Organizers-Arbiters and of course tournament participants. Thumb-up.
First, I of course agree this incident requires serious reaction from the CFC. Second, I agree with Brian Clarke's recommendation that there be some kind of very clear suspension designation, so that...
Hoping I can play Hubert!
Hi Lyle, all I was given was the ones I that listed in my opening post.
It seems I was just "lucky" to be in the building for these latest ones.

Please go see him then. Afterwards, we...
My regrets, but I'm coming down with something, so I won't be at the RA tonight.
And I don't know yet whether I'll be at the RA next Thursday night, February 29th.
Best, Aris.
There's some cold/flu in our household, so I may not make it to the RA tomorrow.

You called it right Victor! (as you often do!)
Hi RA players, I'm looking for a Spanish-speaking player to meet before our round this Thursday. I'm taking Spanish lessons, and I have some notes I would like to discuss. If you also speak French,...
You might be mixing up things: it's a Trainers' seminar, but NA is National ARBITER.
Or do you mean North America? And why would THEY plan for OUR long weekends?
WOW Halldor, what a testament to how awesome an Organizer you are! Selling out OVER A MONTH AHEAD OF TIME, with more players than ever! You're the best!
Excellent ideas Mahmud! I agree they really should be implemented.
(if we don't, we risk having an awful "bad" bidding process some year)
Just a quick note that paid registrants should have just received an email with all the information for our start tomorrow!
If you did not, please email me overnight, directly to arismarghetis at...
If I may suggest, why not ask previous members Mark Dutton and Stephen Wright?
Thank you for a wonderful post Victoria!
