The 2nd, Almost Annual, EoFF Chess Tournament

Here I present thee the rules:
1. Inscription
You can inscribe yourself in the tournament by just copying the list of participants, adding yourself to the list and pasting the new list on this thread. Please add a coment on your playing level (like a number between 1 and 10, "I'm rusty", "I rule" or stuff like that). Inscrition will be closed on MONDAY, May 29 so that gives you a whole week to think if you want to join or not.

2. Matches
The players for the matches in the first round will be selected in random order. In the case that we get an odd number of players one player will automatically pass to the second round (his/her opponent for the first round will be "blank", remember the randomness of selection). All the matches will be sudden death. However, the players will have the freedom to decide if they'll hold their own series (like winning two games out of three) but they have to do so before the deadline. The players will have the freedom to choose the server at which they'll play (both players must agree, ofcourse).

3. Winners
The players of each match will PM me the results of the games (both winner and loser). The winner will pass to the next round (well, duh!).

I think thats all. If any doubt shoudl arrise, please post it here. LET THE INSCRIPTION BEGIN!!

I'm sorry, I'm taking a pass this year. I just don't feel like playing. I should retire while I'm ahead, anyway. :p

i was going to start this in late june, because i'm can't participate until then. way to smurf it up.

well, i can only participate until early june. gonna have a busy summer.

whatever, i won't make a big deal out of it. have fun, good luck.

i pm'ed the rest of the players. let them say what they think about a tournament without the champ. i think it won't be much fun without numero uno.

I'm good until late june

Can I still join?

Haven't played chess in years,shoult try out before my skills get raw.

i say we hold up the tournament until neel gets back. until then, INSCRIPTION IS STILL OPEN.

LaaAlihooOOoo!:hyper: I am Kentarou's older brother and I am joining these forums with the sole intent of crushing you all into the dust!!!

I have not played chess in a long time so actually, I am probably going to lose terribly...but still, this sounds like fun.

Please forgive the fact that my brother doesn't read instructions. :mad: Because he's so dumb, I'll copy and paste the list for him. :)

hey.

man, good to see people are looking foward to this. inscription will close between tomorrow and tuesday. im looking foward to having Neel in the tournament. i'll pm him and hope for his joining (i think i read that he was out until june 12th...).

when i said late june, i meant late june. i'm the only one in an NZ time zone, which means my available times just won't line up with everyone else (16-19 hours away from the US, and 12 hours away from UK). in addition, i have a lot of things to do in my last two weeks in NZ and am trying to minimize online time to be more productive. i would have appreciated a pm prior to actually starting this up so i could at least have informed you about my situation (and not be caught completely by surprise about it starting).

btw, this is the 3rd eoff chess tournament. first one was in '01-'02. you don't need to have the winners of the last one. hell, no finalists from the first one showed up the second time around. so it shouldn't be a problem, although 13 might be a bit difficult to work with. never mind, 3 first round byes will do the trick. best of luck.

yeah i can send you the banners i used last time (i may have a psd template lying around) if you want, or you can make flashy new ones.
