An addition to the below announcement. As is customary, we at the Castle will hold a satellite round on Thursday, February 3rd. This is for players from the Metro area, and means instead of getting down to Rochester on Friday night for the first round, you can play it up here, at the Castle, on Thursday evening. You take your result down to Rochester Saturday morning to join the rest of the field for game two. We will open at six, and start playing at seven.
