NEW TYPE OF TOURNAMENT
24 Apr '03 21:513 editsRUSS AND CHRIS!!
What about a Quick Fire Knock-Out tournament.
1 day T/O outs.
Have 128 players, split players in 4 main groups like #1, 5, 9,...125. so that there are 32 players in each group. Then let player #1 play the player #17 and #2 to play #18 .......#16 to play #32. If the result is even after two games (black & white), then have a new game started immediately where the lower ranked player have white.
A possible seating could be like this. The major advantage would be that as soon a winner of one group is determined, the player would know the next opponent so the next round could be started immediately when the winners are known.
Game # Player Ranked as
Game #1 1&17 Game 1 Winner
.................................................Game 1/15 Winner
Game #15 15&31 Game 15 Winner
..............................................................Games 1/15&7/13 Winner
Game #7 7&23 Game7 Winner

Game #13 13&29 Game 13 Winner
Game #5 5&21 Game 5 Winner

Game #11 11&27 Game 11 Winner

Game #12 12&28 Game 12 Winner
Game #8 8&24 Game 8 Winner

Game #14 14&30 Game 14 Winner
...............................................................Games 2/16&8/14 Winner
Game #16 16&32 Game 16 Winner
...................................................Game 2/16 Winner
Game #2 2&18 Game 2 Winner
Then in the end, the four remaining players should play a Quick Fire Final against each other. I believe that there are several players who would like to enjoy these (most likely) high quality Quick Fire games in the end!
