Good news! However, while any such event is absolutely welcome, I'd prefer 6 rounds to 5 (and, if need be, a speeding up of the games to fit 6 games in ... say to 20 minutes plus 5 seconds, if that makes it work).
With only 5 rounds, as organisers, such as Glasgow Polytechnic, who fit in 5 (15 minute) rapid rounds in an evening twice a year, will, I am sure be happy to discuss further, there are serious risks that a winner 'slips through' with just a little too much of the luck of the draw. 6 rounds minimises that problem just a little bit more; and after all this is not just a strong club rapid but a putative national championship.
Hope helps.
