Evening Games:  All open games of at least 2.5 tables will be included in the main event.  Playing directors and their partners will be eligible for overall awards

Bots:  Clubs who normally use bots to avoid sit-outs may do so during the STaC.  However, the extra 1/2 table which is created by this process will count as a participating table and fees will apply for that half-table.

Charges:  Clubs will pay $6 per table, down from $7 per table recently

Payment:  Fees are due one week after the end of the STaC.  Those who have not paid on time may receive a reminder via email.  If a club does not pay within a week of the reminder, that club will not be allowed to participate in the next District 5 STaC

Strats

The strats are determined by average masterpoints for the pair/team. In an attempt to make the fields more equal, the Strats have been changed to
        A: 2500+
        B: 750-2500
        C: <750

Limited & Invitational Clubs

Clubs that normally run with upper masterpoint limitations may NOT run as open during the STaC.  These clubs must use the same masterpoint limitations during the STaC that they normally use.

Clubs which normally run as open may NOT run as limited during the STaC.

Clubs which normally run as invitational may NOT run as open during the STaC
