Let me know about the next tournament that you have. I have Monday nights free
for a while now.

Also, are any of you guys planning to enter a team in the amatuer team
tournament in February? If so, do you need a player for your team? I am
interested in either forming a team or playing on a team that needs a player. My
rating will probably be in the upper 1600 to low 1700 range.

Thanks, Larry Cesare ltcesare@...

Subject: [HackettstownChessClub] Open! FW: Fall Team Tournament ends December
22nd, 2008.

The Community Center will be open! for the Hackettstown Chess Club
on next Monday Night, December 22nd, 2008 for
the make-up round of the Fall Team Tournament.

To make-up a game from the Fall Team Tournament at that final opportunity;
one should make arrangements with the opponent this week, well in advance.

Without a make-up game opporunity, I expect
that a Fill-In Swiss game would also be allowed as always.

This is Round 12 of 12 (Not Final) of the Fall Team Tournament.

Although not mathematically sewed up,
Buschgans' "FORTH LEVEL" has essentially won the Tournament.

The Community Center will be open next Monday Eve.
All games not played after that night will be forfeited by one or both players.
