The practice round will end without warning around 10/31. 

When the real tournament starts, you will receive a new ID.  Reply BACK to the "Start of Game" message to play.  "No Shows" will be removed after 30 days.  Your practice round ID, which starts with a "p", will no longer be valid so do not use it in the real tournament.

Please remember that changes made to email addresses and start times during the practice round will not carry over to the real tournament.  You can change them with the ADDR and START commands after the tournament starts.  Your current settings can be viewed with the WHAT command.  This includes resignations - if you do not want to play in the main tournament, please let the floorman know via email by 10/31.

Good luck.
