above. If you want to get exercise, you can also do that. In threoy you could do that either early in the morning, or in the evening, with the 10 and 3 schedule but I bet few would really do it, especially after the dinner with wine .In Philly, both at the nationals and the world championships, the reality was that 10 and 3 does not work well. You are done playing at 6:30. You gather your troops for an hour and maybe get to the restaurant at 7:30 or 8. The real key here is that you are hitting the restaurant at prime time, unlike with the 1 and 7 schedule where you are eating at 5, so you have to wait, sometimes a long time.In Philly, typically we would get back to the tournament hotel after dinner at 9:30 or 10. If you then want to socialize further, you have to pre-arrange it because there is no one at the bar, unlike after an evening session when the bar is packed.The way I generally put it is, it feels like there are about 2-3 hours less in the day with the 10 and 3 schedule. With the 1-7:30 schedule you have three hours for dinner which is plenty of time for a real dinner given there will be no wait as noted above, you still get to socialize after the game and you still get to do stuff in the morning.The only exception I would make is for the real grueling events like the Spingold where I would not want to be playing at midnight or later.I will do the survey.
