Description

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.

Hungry parents, spectators, and non-chess-players can get in on the festivities. Please register for the food-only event.

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 entry fees collected (minus food costs) as prizes.
