Unit 430 Sectional Information
Coming attractions!

This is a links page for Unit 430 tournament information.  For future tournaments, there is a link to a pdf file of the tournament flyer (for printing on monochrome printers), a link to the location of the tournament on Google Maps, and a basic information page (for those who have trouble viewing pdf attachments or simply want to view the information in plain text).  Links in red boxes are not yet available; links in amber boxes are available but have not been confirmed as final by the Unit Board yet; links in green boxes are available and confirmed.

Please understand that in order to avoid potential confusion, we try only to have the flyers for the next open sectional and the next Future Stars Sectional in play at any one time.  If you are looking into the far future and want details on a sectional, have a look at the basic information page.

The sectional schedules come from the Unit 430 Generic Sectional Schedule, which is updated from time to time by the Unit Board.  This document contains a blueprint for all Unit sectionals: when they happen, which events take place at each sectional, what the start times are, and many other details.  The Generic Sectional Schedule can be viewed here.  This schedule has been reviewed and updated for 2011.  Among the most important changes are: the addition of 0-750 games alongside the Friday Afternoon Open Pairs at all tournaments, and a few tweaks in strat limits based on the distribution of pairs among strats in 2010.

Some of these links will open in a separate window or tab in your browser.  (If you get a separate window, it is time to update your browser and discover the pleasures of tabbed browsing.)  When you are finished looking at them, simply close the window or tab.  If your computer balks at viewing pdf files, download (or upgrade to) the free Adobe Acrobat Reader here.
