Schedule: This is a 6-round event with rounds at 7 PM each Wednesday night for 6 weeks on 8/22, 8/29, 9/05, 9/12, 9/19 and 9/26. You may take two half-point byes. To get a 1/2 point bye, you can email me, Chuck Ensey, at chucnglo@aol.com before 4:00 PM, or call the club (619-239-7166) before 6:30 PM on the night of the round (at the latest, preferably well before that).  No last round byes (but  of course you can withdraw, just let us know!). If you are a no-show for any round, you won't be paired for the next round. Repeat offenders will be fined $5.

Also note that the winners of the two Upper Sections will meet in a $200 match ($150 to the winner, $50 to the loser) to see which one will get a free berth into the 2008 San Diego Club Championship (the winner of the match won't have to qualify through the Markowski Open). Two players have already been seeded into the Club Championship: the 2007 Club Champion John Funderburg and the San Diego County Champion Leonard Sussman. This event, The San Diego Shootout, will determine one more player and then the last chance will be near the end of the year at "The Masters" (top section of the Class Championships
