The tournament website has links to information about the event, including results and Daily Bulletins. The IMSA Elite Mind Games will be shown on BBO Vugraph each day. If I've figured out the time difference correctly, BBO coverage starts at 5:30 Pacific time, 8:30 East Coast time.

Daily Bulletin

Our wonderful Daily Bulletin editor, Suzi Subeck, will be producing a Daily Bulletin each day. The full pre-bulletin will be available in hard copy at the tournament. Subsequent bulletins will also be available in hard copy or you can read the bulletins online. The bulletins are listed here; click on the one you want to download it in PDF format.

Although it looks as if there are links for future bulletins, they will only work after Suzi has uploaded each bulletin to the website, probably sometime in the middle of the night before the Bulletin's date. If you click on a link and are taken to a page saying Error - page not found, that means the bulletin isn't yet available; try again later.
