If there is 7 rounds then you could be finishing at 7.30pm - that sounds a bit late. Are you relying on games finishing early, or do you aim to finish at say 5.30 and get as many games in as you can, or do you actually finish at 7.30pm
The number of rounds is flexible. Sometimes it will be reduced to 6 if time is running on. Sometimes we may start the rounds for the different grading groups at different times, so the u300 get 7 games and the the u1000 get 5 or 6 games. We would generally aim to get finished at 5.00/5.30 and have a prize giving.
