the matchups are as follows: cliff vs josh and me against jan for the 1st round. Draft accordingly!!!!!

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:12 pm

Wait now before you confuse me again!

I thought that the draft selection order was -Cliff, Brian, Jan, Josh. According to what you drew from the hat, right?
Remember the email I sent you? You liked the idea, so I posted it!

Then I ran a suggestion for a play system by you also:

We have four teams, that's four Board Ones, four Board Twos, Three, & Fours.

Why not the four Board One players play a RR against each other. Same with the Board Two's, Three, & Fours. Either 2 games or 1 game. Whatever we decide. That only requires the posting of four tournaments, rather than a multitude of matches.

Then, at the end of the four tournaments, the individual team scores are added, and the two teams with the most points play for the Gold, so to speak. Four individual 2 (or 3) game matches, which would each need one of those players to post it. If you wanted the two teams out of the "Gold Medal" round could also play those same matches against each other for the Bronze Medal.

Is that the final idea now? Or am I missing something>

right I thought your idea was also with the teams playing against each other. I was saying your side(#1vs#1)etc vs Josh #1 etc. Or am I now confused?

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 8:26 pm

Okay. I'll post a fictitious team lineup schedule so it'll be clearer to everyone. Perhaps I'm not explaining it too well. One of those things that's clear in my mind, but not as clear in print!

Give me until tomorrow. We have company coming over now for awhile!

*sigh* wait until you get my bill for clerical services!

If a four member team plays a DRR there are 6 points available per player regardless of rating or results. The results of individual players may difer from one group to another but the total group points should always be equal.

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 10:38 am

it's only 4 if my math is correct due to only 1 game per player. if I play Cliff's side and win(which I will) I play Cliff his board 1,2,and3, so should be 4 per player and max 16 per team. If I am correct.

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 3:28 pm

Ok Pete is in, so now we need 2 more I think we have now 13. anybody know anyone that wants in?

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 4:11 pm

cmulligan · Post by **cmulligan** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 4:31 pm

Awesome!Been ages since I had the chance to play in a tournament of any kind.Can't wait to get started.Thank's a lot for putting this together Brian!

Thanks even more for telling me about it and inviting me in!

You and everyone else have really made me feel welcome here and having good times so far.So win or lose,I look forward to an awesome tournament with great people.That's a win-win regardless of score in my book!

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:02 pm

Hi all!

I'm as anxious to get started as anyone! My appearance in the second round of the 2011 Open is amounting to being...painful

and I could use a change of pace!

However, we have one minor hitch:

Four Teams of Four Players equals Sixteen, not fifteen!

We still need one more player!

iamachessstudent · Post by **iamachessstudent** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:44 pm

Come on 1 more player!!
come on come n come on

heheeh

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 6:44 pm

Yeah I know consider that my Toronto Maple Leafs addition!!! I asked Pumpkin hopefully he will join.

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 9:35 pm

Well at any rate, here's the slate we have so far.

[b]Captains[/b]

cliff (2721) (Cliff - Canada)
iamachessstudent (2678) (Josh - USA)
jvanmechelen (2561) (Jan - Belgium)
islanderfan (2043) (Brian - USA)

Players

pcmvr (2883) (Pete - USA)
energy (2819) (Nils – Norway)
angelofthenight (2631) (Angel – Canada)
sisterofmercy (2468) (Hans - Belgium)
pawnraider (2337) (Paul- Germany)
johnrbrown (2305) (John Brown - Canada)
johnb (2284) (John White - Canada)
ecperreault (2253) (USA)
redketchuplover (2240) (USA)
mi (2217) (michel - France)
pwillows (2086) (Pete Willows - Australia)
cmulligan (2069) (Chris - USA)
heyuneverno (2036) (Jim – USA)
wilbeerthoven (2000) (Bruno)
jsiebert (1765) (Judy - USA)

As far as the draft goes, we'll have that when we get one more player, I guess?

I'll send the draft format that Brian agreed to to the captains tomorrow, and I'll post the playing format for Round One next. We'll figure out Round Two later.

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 9:43 pm

(Well here are the teams we could have after the draft, assuming that every captain took the next available highest rated player, and played their players on boards according to their rating. Again, these teams are fictionous, and just being used for the sake of example. The Team captains are in italics.)

(Note: this list was compiled before the entry of pcmvr (2883) (Pete – USA), Sisterofmercy (2468) (Hans - Belgium) and wilbeerthoven (2000) (Bruno)and hence they are not listed yet, as the plan at that time was to go with four-man teams.)

TEAMS

Team A
Board One – Energy (2819)
Board Two – Cliff (2721)
Board Three – Johnb (2284)
Board Four – Pwillows (2086)

Team B
Board One – Angellofthenight (2631)
Board Two – Ecperreault (2253)
Board Three – Cmulligan (2069)
Board Four – Islanderfan (2043)

Team C
Board One – Jvanmechelen (2561)
Board Two – Pawnraider (2337)
Board Three – Redketchuplover (2036)
Board Four - Heyuneverno (2036)

Team D
Board One – Iamachessstudent (2678)
Board Two – Johnrbrown (2305)
Board Three – Mi (2217)
Board Four – Jsiebert (1795)

So, the event would consist of four tournaments in the first round, each teams' Board player against their corresponding Board players on the other teams; Board One vs Board One, Board Two vs Board Two, etc. as follows.

Tournament One
Energy, Angelofthenight, Jvanmechelen, Iamachessstudent – 1 (or 2) games vs each opponent,
10d+10hr time.
Tournament Two
Cliff, Ecperreault, Pawnraider, Johnrbrown – Same games, same time.
Tournament Three
Johnb, Cmulligan, Redketchuplover, mi – same games, same time.
Tournament Four
Pwillows, Islanderfan, Heyuneverno, jsiebert – Same games, same time.

That would end Round One. So far so good. Everyone?

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 7:12 am

Pumpkin is in so we now have a full tourney of 16.

yes I like it and that is what I had meant also Cliff. We had the same idea, just got lost in the wording. Here we go have fun everyone!

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 7:15 am

I guess I can finally say Cliff (since no team name) is on the clock. tick tick tick tick tick tick....

ecperreault · Post by **ecperreault** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:42 pm

Oooh! Oooh! Pick me! Pick me!

iamachessstudent · Post by **iamachessstudent** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 7:02 pm

Nice so the team leaders can expect e mail soon from Cliff:)

I think my Team will go by Caissa's Chosen!!

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:14 pm

I have chosen we "keep em checkamated"!

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:07 pm

Good names, guys! I'm not making moves tonight, just getting out the players lists to the captains, and I've already updated them, so I guess we're ready to go!

Anyway, my team is "Team Tyr"! Beware!

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:22 pm

Er...this may be a bad time to mention this, but if anyone can find us one more player that may be willing to play, assuming he/she is willing to be an emergency stand-in if someone can't make it, PLEASE do so rapidly!

The draft will go ahead as scheduled tomorrow, but that player may be needed as early as the start of the tournament, July 18.

I have an uneasy feeling about one entry....I'll send an email tonight, but I'm worried about that person. Remote area and tornadoes...bad combination...

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:33 pm

I dunno Cliff, we will figure out something. I doubt the peeps who are playing don;t have a heart, well Josh doesn't lol

cliff · Post by **cliff** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:17 am

Emergency over! All is well!

We still have a full sixteen players, and the draft has begun.

Welcome to Team Tyr, Nils, as my first board!

islanderfan · Post by **islanderfan** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 7:52 am

With the 2nd overall pick, team we gonna kick some @%&!$ picks, ANGELOFTHENIGHT wooooohoooooooooooooooo
