It's that time again ... Bret's Cup '06!
It's that time again ... Bret's Cup '06!
That's right ... I'm doing it again.
Event: Bret's Cup '06
Start Date: Few days after Jan 1, 2006
Prize: US$100 (Need Pay-pal to collect)
Those who made the semi-finals in BC '05 are in if they want.
They include:
sumdeus
munbehend
ramawolf
rodschi
Also in for winning Section II last year is mgomdysey ... Congrats!
You guys still need to contact me to join ... Don't forget.
The other 11 will be based on ratings as of Dec 15, 2005.
Some changes this year ... No tiebreak games. After you are seeded the top seed moves on in case of ties. This means if your seed is less than your opponent, you must win the match. Also, I spent a lot of time last year sending emails to invite players so we would have a strong tournament. I do not have the time to do that this year. So spread the word about this post to your opponents. To join you MUST contact me through the Net-Chess website "Contact A Player" link or post it in this thread. After I get the 16 players needed, I'll take the next 20 players for section II. Good Luck to all!
Round 1
Four Groups of 4 players @ 2 games with each opponent (5 players in section II). Two people from each group moves on. Time control for this round is 20d+1d
Round 2
You will be paired in match play. 4 games at 30d+1d.
Round 3
More match play! This time a 6 game match at 30d+2d.
Round 4
The last two will play a 8 game match at 30d+2d time control.
Money Round
What? This is the round where the winner can take his $100 and quit. Or choose to play me in a 10 game match at 30d+2d for double or nothing!

I've set up a website (the other one expired 2 days ago) so people can see who has joined and to follow the tournaments. If you forget the address ... there is always my profile.
Greg ... could you make an Announcement like you did last year so others will know about the new tournament? I had about 10 players wanting to join after we started.
Thanks

I've listed everyones rating as of Dec 15 and posted them on the above tournament page. I clicked to print the rating list here at net-chess and when I came back to the computer a book had come out! LOL
I've also seeded the top section so you can look and see who you will be playing. However, I am still allowing people to join up to Jan 1, so things can change.

Bret's Cup 2006...
Greetings to Bret and all Bret's cup participants and fans!
Just got a question for you Bret... Morphyfan has yet to sign up for our section... can you either replace him or find out what is going on with him? I will contact him and leave him a message later on to see if I cannot get our section started -Stobinev.
P.S. Thanks again for putting this on!

Greg,
Thanks! Here are the pairings.
Group 1
iivanov
jpettit
metalpig
parno
pilchard
Group 3
stobinev
brucea
mic
ciortan
losertoo
Group 4
ruben
jjrizzo
vgomdysey
mlaurent
If you want, that guy gmiller can be added to group 4
Note to all:
I tried to add the new players fairly but it is hard to do since group 2 has already started. I didn't think the players who had joined to play on time should drop in seeding. So I added the two highest rated players iivanov and ruben to the bottom of the seedings but tried to set the pairings as if they were the top seeds anyway. All this means is that they will not fair good in case they end in a tie with anyone.
