2017 ASL OPEN Goes to Four Days!

[David Goldman]

The 2017 ASL OPEN starts Thursday, March 30, 2017, 2:00 p.m.

One round Thursday, two rounds each Friday and Saturday, one round on Sunday.

The mini tournament is the Friday night round and the two Saturday rounds.

To minimize down time, I will run an extra tournament. If you finish fast and want to get in another game while waiting for the next round, you will be matched up with the next available player who also wants an extra game. See the attached rules for further details.

The reason for the extra day is to eliminate the three short rounds on Saturday. There is always too much pressure and my sense is that the ASL community appreciates a more thoughtful longer scenario set.

The Friday and Saturday morning rounds will be 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Plenty of time and thus larger scenarios.

The Friday and Saturday evening rounds will start at 6:30 p.m.

Sunday start time will be 9:00 a.m.

The same location as this year, Holiday Inn O'Hare.

Now you're talking David. You have to give us old coots some sleep time. :bored:

Looking forward to 2017 and participating in the newformat.

Too bad for me that the date moved earlier. I had kept Diane's travel plans out of most of April, but we are on a cruise in March that goes a few days into April. I will target the 2018 event.

:angry: Well, here is some news! Well, by this time in 2017 I will be living in Wisconsin, not Ohio which is good. You have now got the Frozen Four the week AFTER the Open! :nuts:
And by an odd NCAA induced coincidence, the Frozen Four in 2017 is in Chicago. We will see if we can make this work. :crosseye:

Expansion to 4 days makes coming from NC much more viable. Still too early to commit though.

 

[davegin]

Oh for cryin' out loud...commit already Doug!!! I haven't been to the Open in many years due to my New Orleans Jazz Fest trip, but if you commit, I will also. Just hope to see you in a later round!!!!!

You are never going to make the ASL "Century Club" like that !

I am doing Texas this year. My plan next year is to do one more I haven't done already. It will be either Double One in London or The ASL Open in Chicago. -- jim (unless Hennie can be bribed to do Arnhem one more time)

Texas is a good one. Flo said 'Cut back on travel now", so I won't make it again.

Missed out on my first attempt to attend last year due to work. Keeping my fingers crossed for 2017.
