    Default Gameroom Chess Tourney?

    Idea would be to get 32 or 64 and then do a tourney. Each pair does a best of three and winner advances. Play by PM, EM, or chat with both players reporting results. Semi's and Finals played in the thread with others allowed to comment -- but not coach.

    Thoughts?

    Interest?


    Tournament Pairings.

    Unable to establish single elimination bracketing without a ridiculous number of byes. Therefore, we will proceed in pseudo World Cup format. All assignments were made using random number sequences generated by random.org.

    4 Groups will be established and players will play two games against each member of their group. Players will decide the format of their match (web, pbem, pbchat, ftf) between themselves. Both players will report the results of their games to the thread. Players earn 2 points for a win, and 1 point for a draw. The highest two point scorers from each group will then play a "1st to achieve 2 wins" to determine the group winner. The high score takes white in the first game, then players alternate until a conclusion is reached.

    The Group A winner will face the Group C winner in a semi-final "1st to achieve 2 wins" match. Initial color determined by coin flip or other mutually acceptable manner. Again both players report results.

    The Group B winner will face the Group D winner in a semi-final "1st to achieve 2 wins" match. Rest as for A v C.

    The Final will be a "1st to achieve 2 wins" match between the winners of the semi-final round. Finals games will be played in the thread with players submitting moves alternately. The losers of the semi-final rounds can play a "Bronze" match or just skip it and head to the pub at their discretion.


    Group Play:

    You will have one week to conclude your 2 games with your 1st group opponent (one as each color). Subsequent pairings must complete in 4 days (we'll have our systems down by then and can speed up).

    Within each group, the order of play will be as follows:

    1st pairing: N1 v N4, N2 v N5, N3 v N6.
    2nd pairing: N1 v N5, N2 v N6, N3 v N4.
    3rd pairing: N1 v N6, N2 v N3, N4 v N5.
    4th pairing: N1 v N2, N3 v N5, N4 v N6.
    5th pairing: N1 v N3, N2 v N4, N5 v N6.

    Group A: Results

    A1 = Cambovenzi 2-1-0
    A2 = Andres 0-1-0
    A3 = w&f 1-1-0 0-2-0
    A4 = Horus
    A5 = Xiahou
    A6 = Pannonian 3-1-0

    Group B:

    B1 = Martok 0-6-1
    B2 = Caius 0-4-1
    B3 = Beefy 0-2-0
    B4 = Rhy' 2-0-0
    B5 = Wasp 4-0-0
    B6 = Asen 6-0-0

    Group C:

    C1 = Arach 5-3-0
    C2 = Factionheir 5-1-0
    C3 = shlin 0-4-0
    C4 = Ichigo 6-0-0
    C5 = Makaikhan 0-6-0
    C6 = Winter 2-4-0

    Group D:

    D1 = QJC 2-0-0
    D2 = Glyphz 2-0-0
    D3 = Seamus 2-0-0
    D4 = Aries 0-2-0
    D5 = GH 0-2-0
    D6 = pevergreen 0-2-0

    Play begins by 0001 GMT 22 October 2008; 1st pairings to be completed no later than 7 days after that time. Good Luck!

    I would give it a shot. Prolly wouldn't win, not by a long shot, but i'd try.

    What do those tables represent?

    Is it Wins-Loses-Draws?

    Also it it points for every game won (so you'd get 4 points from your two games against an opponent?)

    Afaik you can play your rounds at any time, just have all results in by a certain date.

    Well, many players are going off schedule so maybe I'll have to wait a bit... But I do not how much, though..

    IMO its best to be ahead of schedule than behind, especially when timezones differ and you may not be able to catch your opponent during certain times later.

    Excellent work, Rhy!
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

    If the tournament moderator and the gameroom moderator approves, I'll be joining the tournament in place of the absent Warmaster Horus.

    Seamus Fermanagh gave me his approval in private, but before it's official I think it would be appropriate to confirm here. He has it, such as it is worth. --SF

    I would welcome any and all games.

    Announcement from His Imperial Highness:

    Currently the Serpent-Prince is fighting three wars against the armies of Andres, Waspinator and Askthepizzaguy. Whilst the armies of the Prince are fighting well against Andres and still hold their own against Wasp, their center is nearly broken by the improved and upgraded army of Askthepizzaguy. But this is not what matters now. The decisive battle is against the armies of General Waspinator and his army should be defeated at any rate.


    P.S.Good work to all of the three opponents!
