Remember STC Days & Nights on ICC, FICS and USCL

These are the times that more than the normal amount of STC Bunchers will be on the chess servers. This is an informal, come as you are, affair and a good time to schedule some of the games that you arrange with yourselves. This time is for the STC Bunchers to use as they will. If you only have a little time to play, then this is the time to show up.

    On ICC: Wednesdays -- 5PM-11PM Eastern Standard (New York, USA Eastern Standard)
           (New York, USA) Time. Or, 9PM-3AM GMT (London, England)
    On FICS: Thursdays -- 4PM-10PM Central Standard USA Time
          (Chicago, USA) Time. Or, 8pm-2am GMT (London, England)
    On USCL: Mondays -- 4PM-10PM Eastern Standard USA Time
          (New York, USA) Time. Or, 8pm-2am GMT (London, England)

STC BUNCH SUNDAY 45 5 TOURNAMENT

STC-TD is the account to talk to (tell) on ICC. He has been handling the TD duties there for quite awhile now. The tournament starts at 1:00pm server time which is (-0500 zulu) except during the summer when it is (-0400 zulu).

On FICS, the tournament is every Sunday at 11:15am server time (-0700 zulu Standard time, -0800 zulu standard time)in Channel 49 (Mamer). SuperIntellect is the main man there but others may be managing the Mamer bot. Rounds are at 11:15am (ST), 12:45pm and 2:15pm, (all times are approximations for your convenience, actual starting times may vary on your server) three rounds of Game in 45 with 5 second increment, rated DIN (dynamic Swiss pairing).

On the ICC, when there are enough players we attempt to run an Open Section, a U1900 section and a U1600 section. If you would like to play 'up' to a higher section, let the TD know and he will accommodate you. Preregistration is not necessary. Just be there or be Round. 'tell 90 (or 49) Who is the TD today?' On the ICC, STC-TD will usually be run by me.
