Idea for a tourney
Idea for a tourney
Greetings everyone -
I am considering hosting a double elimination "bracket" tourney here. Each round would consist of 2 players and 3 games (best of 3). If the score is tied, the player who scores the first win moves on. If all 3 games end up in draws, then another game would have to be played. Games would be 30d + 0d to make sure that things keep moving.
I would probably want to have 2 divisions - 1899 and under, and 1900 and over. Any takers? Please reply to this post if interested.

The time that I list here makes the game a maximum of 2 months. I imagine that a 14d + 1d time limit would help, or even a 7d + 1d time limit. I just don't want the tourney to last more than 9 - 12 months. If we have a lot of takers, then it could last quite a while. If we only have 8 or 16 takers, then time should not be an issue.mgomdysey wrote:hi

I am flexible on the time to a point.....I just don't want things to drag on for 1-2 years. Thanks for your input.

What would you think about 14d + 1d or 7d + 1d? Anyone?keithstuart wrote:You can count me in to
Regarding the time issue it would be better to have some time added after each move as some of us may well take holidays during the time the tournament is running and could there fore lose half the time assuming a 30d+0d setting with a two week holiday

Time controls
I'm gonna go with 14d + 1d. If those time controls don't work for you, please don't join. Not trying to be crass here, just want to get things rolling.

First bracket posted
Ok...I have the brackets listed. You can find them here.
Rules are best of 3. Challenge for 3 games. Person listed first challenges person listed second. Time controls should be 14d + 1d. If you agree on different time controls, please make sure you keep things moving.
Also, please email me your match number using the net-chess email system.
Let's play chess!
Tim
P.S. Game 15 is only if the result of game 14 gives each player only one loss. Also, I typed game, but I mean match (best 2 of 3) Codes like L g 1 means loser of game 1. Any other questions just contact me.
