I really like that you are keeping the Limited Jackpot, more limited next year. It is important to have side events for developing players.

I appreciate your support of the Chicago Open year after year. Moreso I appreciate your friendship. The quality of your game is catching up to the quality person you are.

Rory has always put on a well run and fun tournament. I always highly recommend the event to people with the minor caveats that the playing room gets tight, some players get frustrated about whom Rory will allow into which section, and that Rory’s personality has a very, very sharp edge. It’s nice to hear Rory has fixed the first problem and it takes a lot of character to admit to and try to improve the third problem. It’s hard to run a perfect tournament and impossible to make everyone happy. Additionally, there are moments when things can get very stressful, so it’s important to cut Rory a little slack. I look forward to the announced improvements and to playing next year.

If my children aren’t graduating or best friends getting married, I always make this tourney. Rory and team do a great job and I love that he is always striving to improve. Always a lot of backgammon. I look forward to returning in 2020.

David, Thank you for the kind words! As I have already stated I have many new ideas to make next year’s tournament even better. I will reveal them one by one as the details for each are finalized. I hope to see you in LA in December. I am sure Candace will have some great things planned as well.

Nancy, I recognize that there are many ways to improve the Chicago Open. Self improvement is definitely one of them. I have many great plans for next year. I hope you come back to see them!

Having 3 meals per day is a nice bonus that I haven’t see elsewhere. Also, Chicago is central and very convenient. Only a 2 hour flight from Austin. I hope to make this tournament every year.
