1 ) Be in time that is to say 10 minutes before we start.

The starting time is 3pm.

That gives us time to start up the system and play at 3pm.

Thank you for your understanding.

2 ) At the table:

                         check if you sit at the right table

                         check if you sit in the right direction

                         check if you have the right boards

                         check if the board you play coincides with the board in the tablet.

 Thank you
