Lyon(*): The Top Boards. Probably 4-5 boards per round. If we get requests for a particular game/player, and his game is being relayed on the official website, we might as well relay that one, though.
Peleus: Can you relay
(told Lyon, who is busy or away from the keyboard. Please leave a message or type: /showadmin for an admin on duty)
Peleus: S Hegarty

To be honest the DGT equipment is a complete pig to setup - so a lot depends on how much time is allowed on site before round one begins

Most tourns do top 15-20 now. Surely the Biritsh must follow suit.

Appreciated thanks, not sure if that is the full list - Andy Howie and Stephen Connor will also be involved

I don't do that much from this end :)

True glory lies in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read.

If "we" are doing that then it's just an ICC call to make...

All

Andy Howie and I have spent today setting up and we we ran the last two rounds of the quick play on the sensory boards.

Currently we have 3 seperate displays, boards 1-5, 6-10 and 11-19. We may be able to increase this, but some of the boards are failing to pick up some pieces.

We hope to be out live on the U16's in the morning.

Cheers

Dave
