SLOW PLAY

Players should be seated and ready to play by 12.55 pm. This will enable the Director to distribute the boards quickly and allow play to start on time at 1.00 pm.

During play, in the event of any table falling behind the allocated time for the hands to be played, the Committee has instructed the Director to intervene immediately and if necessary give an average, so that adjacent tables will not be affected by the slow-playing group.

Adopting this approach will ensure that all tables finish playing by 4.00 pm.
