    Default Gameroom Chess Tournament

    Hello all,

    I got the okay from the man upstairs to see if we could have another chess tournament. We had one previously(it can be found here) but it was never finished sadly. I would like to do a bracket tournament with two out of three wins moves on, if there's enough players. Any comments or suggestions on a better way of structuring it are welcome. If you are interested please post in the thread.

    4 days for three games sounds like a good amount of time, and can be extended if RL intervenes. I'd like it to move at a semi-decent pace, so I would not want it to be more than a week at most. If people think that isn't enough time then we can discuss it further.

    In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces.

    I have got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel

    Sure, I'll play, even if Romanic is going to kick my behind if I draw him

    I think 4 days for three days are a bit short but I can understand the pace argument... It just pressures the players to sit down and play entire sessions in a row instead of correspondance, that might stress some players.

    You're welcome to use the automated Tournament utility to create the bracket, if you would like. A tutorial to the system can be found here.

    I'm in if we're playing timed games, 30 mins or such. What I don't want is to play games with unlimited time, my current free time won't allow it.

    I have given you the ability to create and edit competitions with the system. Let me know if you need any help using it.

    Don't have time to play, sorry.
