Round Times
Food served at 7:15, first round at 7:45, rest ASAP.

It's Friday night, BBQ style!

We'll have our normal Friday Night Blitz format: 6 double rounds, G5/d0.

But we'll also serve a BBQ feast, prepared by Charles!

As usual, exact menu TBD, but it will feature one or two smoked or grilled proteins, a couple veggie dishes, a couple starch dishes, and some dessert.

Please register early if you can, to assist menu planning and shopping. If you have questions, suggestions, or requests let me know! Email charles.slade@boylstonchess.org.

If you have allergies or preferences, please indicate them in the "bye requests" section when you register.

Doors open a little earlier than usual: 7:15 (with food served). First round starts at 7:45.

Afterwards, what happens, happens.

A note on prizes: these events are often well-attended. If we continue that trend, we'll mimic the Big Money Blitz prize structure: 1st/2nd Open, U2100; 1st/2nd U1900, U1700, U1500, in roughly the same proportions as Big Money Blitz.

For the total prize fund, we'll return 80% of the revenue (entry fees collected minus food costs) as prizes.

Need to withdraw or take a bye? Email td@boylstonchess.org at least 30 minutes before the round.

For parking and transportation info, please visit Parking and Public Transit.

If the metal gate to the building is closed, please press the doorbell marked #1

Please see our tournament policies for more information.
