[announcement] 08/7/2004

1. Our first try on the clinic went well. We had two sessions of four players each. (Suathua, Tetsuro, Percy, Kevin, Aldo, Jane, Manin,and Paul) After the clinic, coach Jim and I discussed a little bit about how the clinic can be more effective so that players may get the most out of the clinic. He felt that four people in a session were too many. Therefore, he recommended that we have two players in a session in the future. In addition, we will also try to group people of similar level in the same session. There will be three one-hour sessions per week. We can only accommodate 6 people per week. The recommended donation will be $10 per session per person. If you are interested, please send an email to me. (bay_tt@yahoo.com) I will keep a signup list. First-time players will have the higher priority. Here is the schedule for the three sessions:
   

   
   First session: 2:15 - 3:15
   Second session: 3:25 - 4:25
   Third session: 4:30 - 5:30
   

   
   


2. Ming Zhang won this week's seven-player round robin. He only dropped one game to Gary Alcares throughout the round robin. The detail results will be up soon.
