Untitled Tuesday Reminder and Important Announcement
Here we go again! Our next event is tomorrow, Tuesday July 7th. We will start at 3:30 PM Pacific time, 22:30 UTC, which should give time for Titled Tuesday to finish. Time zone converter: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Untitled+Tuesday&iso=20200707T2230&p1=1440.
This will be a ten round event. The time control will be three minutes with one second of increment. Note that this is a change from previous events, following a similar change for Titled Tuesday.
The use of computer assistance is not permitted. Games will be monitored for fair play violations. Please do not cheat.

Saturday Event
Since there is no time that works for everyone, we will vary the time of the Saturday event every month to accommodate different time zones. If the time one month doesn't work, maybe next month will be better.
This month, we will go with 09:00 UTC, Saturday July 11th. Time zone converter: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Untitled+Tuesday&iso=20200711T09&p1=1440. We will send out one reminder news post on Friday.
Again, we will go with ten rounds.

Changes in Leaderboard Scoring Method
As Weekly Events of Untitled Tuesday drew no fewer participants than the Major Event, we have decided that going forward, all Weekly Events shall count equally towards the annual Leaderboard. However, in order to provide opportunity to those members, who cannot participate every week, the Saturday Event shall count double the other events. For detailed comparison, see the table (courtesy: @MGleason) at: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/event-history-and-leaderboard-2020.
