The TNTs are typically 4 round events (one game for 4 consecutive Tuesdays in the month), sometimes 5 rounds. Start time is 7:00 pm and the TD will confirm costs
( $ 15 entry fee, and CFC membership required[$ 20 for a one-tournament membership or $ 49 for 12 months- new members pay only $ 36 for the year])

[Note to those that recently purchased one-tournament memberships for the Abe Yanofsky Memorial - you can convert your membership to an annual membership by paying the difference - if you are playing in the August TNT]

This is very near the weekend room of 5L24 and is in fact on the same 'floor'.

Easiest way to get there is the same way to 5L24 - take the elevator at the north end (Ellice) to the 5th Floor(if that Elevator is operating) Otherwise, there is an elevator just to the west of the Bookstore.
Our goal is to start the first round at 7:00 p.m. sharp.
