Summary for T02

I prefer getting all the time up front. (A2) 29 61.70%

Summary for T03
The U12 section has a different and shorter time control of Game/90 for all rounds.  How do you feel about this?
Answer Count Percentage
It's good that U12 players can finish their games earlier. (SQ001) 30 63.83%  
U12 players should have just as much time as the other sections. (SQ002) 16 34.04%  
Not completed or Not displayed 1 2.13%  

Summary for T04
Five hour games mean potentially finishing at midnight on Friday and Saturday nights and making the Saturday morning alternate round a 3 hour game. An alternative would be to make all rounds 4 hour games which would make Friday and Saturday nights end earlier and allow the Saturday morning round to be FIDE rated. How would you feel about shortening the time control to 4 hour games?
Answer Count Percentage
I like five hour games. (A1) 11 23.40%  
Four hour games sound better. (A2) 34 72.34%

Summary for P01
Currently, the class prizes are strictly within 100 point ranges so there are a limited number of players competing for those prizes.  This creates the possibility of higher rated players with lower scores getting prizes while lower rated players with the same or better scores not getting prizes. "Under" prizes makes the lowest rated players in the section eligible for all the prizes while higher rated players are eligible for less prizes. Which do you prefer?
Answer Count Percentage
Keep it the way it is with strict class prizes (A1) 16 34.04%  
Change it to Under prizes (A4) 14 29.79%  
I have no preference (A3) 15 31.91%

Summary for P02
Currently, there are 33 prizes offered across the whole tournament which typically require a score of 3.5 or better to win.  How do you feel about the prize distribution.
Answer Count Percentage
The prize distribution seems about right (A1) 32 68.09%  
There should be more but smaller prizes (A2) 4 8.51%  
There should be fewer and larger prizes (A3) 8 17.02%
