Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

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:
A1 = Tevashszat
A2 = Motep
A3 = w&f
A4 = Horus
A5 = Xiahou
A6 = Ethelred
Group B:
B1 = Martok
B2 = Caius
B3 = Beefy
B4 = Rhy'
B5 = Wasp
B6 = Asen
Group C:
C1 = Arach
C2 = Factionheir
C3 = shlin
C4 = Ichigo
C5 = Makaikhan
C6 = Winter
Group D:
D1 = QJC
D2 = Ferrett
D3 = Seamus
D4 = Aries
D5 = GH
D6 = pevergreen
Play begins by 0001 GMT 22 October 2008; 1st pairings to be completed no later than 7 days after that time. Good Luck!

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
I PMed my first move to Martok two days ago and he hasn't replied...
Obviously it was so amazing it has frightened him off.
