| Round 
    - In a Duplicate tournament, 
        the portion of a session between movements where players remain at one 
        table and play multiple boards against the same opponents.  A board 
        is typically played in 7 1/2 minutes; thus, a round of 2 boards should 
        require 15 minutes to play (Directors often use 7 minute boards when 
        more than 2 boards are played per round).  An open game session 
        should be completed in 3 1/2 hours.
