2005 Site Championship?

Post by davidswhite » Thu Nov 10, 2005 1:26 pm

Greg, since the 2004 Site Championship Tourney will probably not
finish until the end of this month,is there any thought of having a
2005 Tourney or will we skip 2005 and go right to the 2006 one?
Best regards
David

I'm planning to start the 2006 tournament in Feburary. I'll start accepting signups soon.

I'm also thinking of switching the format from a single elimination to a swiss style tournament. The rounds would still be run as a series of 6 player matches, but everyone who wanted to continue to the next round would be allowed to do so. I think I would automatically withdraw all players in the bottom half unless they specifically asked to continue on.

The only thing holding me back is that the pairings are going to be a lot harder to do.
