I would like the first round completed by December 2015 ,quarter finals of the Nancy Elder completed by January 2016 m the semi finals by February. That gives us a bit of breathing space for the final in April should we need it
First player as always has black and plays home, In the event of a draw you switch colours and venues and in the event of a further draw we may introduce an allegro game I take your point Stevie as the Black player has home advantage . If Black wishes to give up home advantage for whatever reason he is still Black regardless. I missed your phone call Stevie as I was upstairs getting ready. We are a bit more relaxed with time controls if both players agree a different time control(e.g to play the game on a club night where time controls can be a bit more restrictive. Dependant on the state of play in the tournament we may have to introduce an allegro game to decide drawn games sooner than later
