Ugh yes please bring more chairs. Or should I just bring a chair because even if there are extras seniors have to sit?

can i take a moment to point out that it was unfair that seniors and juniors got to sit regardless of W/L record. i realize there was no other option, and have no suggestions, i do however wish to complain about it lol

Please understand that bringing a chair is not "buying" your way into the event. You are allowing the chair to be used for the event, not for your own personal games. Bringing a chair may mean you have a chair to sit in if you end up in an area where chairs would otherwise not be, but it does not necessarily mean that you yourself will be using it.

At the moment, it does not look like additional chairs will be needed. That may change if the preregistration list gets up into the 70s.

If you would like to help us by bringing a chair, we ask that the chairs be metal folding chairs, not "lawn chair" style. Thanks to everyone who is able to bring a chair :thumb:

I was informed by the judge at Battle Roads that this was allowed, so if I bring a chair because it belongs to me I will be the only one using it.
 
"The judge" at Fairfax does not set policy for the venue. Nor do I for that matter. ShadowCard is the venue rep and it is he who sets Hobby Works policy. The store is gracious enough to host us. We are their guest and do not tell them what to do. If you expect to tote your chair around table to table throughout the day, sorry, no, that will be too disruptive given the limited space in-store. Exceptions of course are made for special cases (medical situations, etc)

As head judge on the day. let me back up what David is saying here. We have an obligation not only to store to run the event by their "rules" as hosts, but to the other players as well to keep the event running smoothly. Some one dragging their chair around all day is disruptive to the event. We'll make an announcement early on, but penalties can and will be issued to any one not complying with instructions and disrupting the event, per the penalty guide lines. See a copy of the pertinent section below, The failure to comply line applies here.

Examples of Unsporting Conduct: Major include:
 Leaving a large amount of garbage in the tournament area.
 Failure to comply with the instructions of the event staff.
 Engaging in gamesmanship/rules lawyering.
 Attempting to manipulate a match through intimidation or distraction.
 Refusal to sign a match slip.
 Making legal plays which have no effect on the game in progress to manipulate the time remaining in a match.
 Playing slowly to manipulate the time remaining in a match.

I would just rather clear the air and back up what David has said before the tournament starts. So have fun, but I would rather you know up front that there can be consequences to not complying with staff instructions. Thanks and good luck to all the players.:thumb:
 
I'm afraid I'll be taking on the Roanoke chapter tomorrow, hopefully bringing the gold home
