Re: timed out games

Yes they are. You can check my list of games if you would like.
I have no problems with few moves not being rated.

timed out games

I have found that players get to a point in the game and then they sit until they run out of time and it is posted as "Timed out" and I get no rating points. Why is that ? The player knows by the position they are lost and should resign but take the timed out way out. I do agree that if a player nev...

Re: Standard Format for future Zapper Tournaments options Po

I like any format that allows everyone to play till the end of the tournament. No Eliminations.
Five players per Board is fine with me.
Five or six teams is good as well.

Re: When will rd 2 of Zapper 2012 begin?

Hi Josh or Brian Could one of you post the match #'s and the team members with their boards again here? We can then all see where we stand. This may be helpful to all. I don't think all the games are done yet but I do not have a complete list of all players or match #'s. If I did I might be able to ...

Re: Zapper Madness 2011 Round Three Format.

Hi Cliff; I think bringing a fresh player in for the last Round is not a good idea. I suggest that the team captains consider all games with ecperreault as draws for the final 3rd round. That way they will not effect the outcome of the final results. If he changes his mind in the final count down de...

Re: Zapper Madness 2011 Round Three Format.

Hi Brian and Cliff; Just to clear things for me.For Zapper 2011: Will Round 3 start Wednesday and is time control 12d+1d or 10d+1d? If Zapper 2012 is going to start in June I may also have to bow out. I thought from above posts that Zapper 2012 would be started in April. I may be wrong as there is a...

Re: Zapper Madness 2011 Round Three Format.

Hi Josh; I'm not sure how long these zapper tournaments are supposed to run per round. I know on other chess sites, I play 7 days for 1 move then you get back the 7 days.That is basically one week to make a move. Not sure if Net-chess has these types of time controls built into their system. How abo...

Re: Zapper Madness 2011 Round Three Format.

I'd like to start by thanking Cliff for suggesting me to join my First Zapper Tournament. You are all a great bunch of players. I was completely confused with the set up and with computer problems I could not even finish my first round. I think that if you do run more teams next year that an easy pl...
