Please send me a Pm just to follow the procedure. But I'm not sure of the time limits for now. I was thinking on making a poll when all 8 people are in.
Sorry guys for the delay in replying but I can only get access to internet while at work. But we got all 8 people now. And one more that also send me a PM but was the last to do it.
The participants are:
Adam Warlock
Riddle2007

AlphaAlekhine
mcreynolds
emanon
scubily.
For all the others that said smething but aren't on this list I'm sorry.
we have two things to decide now: the time controls and if the games are to be rated or not. My inclinations are 7/3 time controls and rated games but I want the majority to decide on this. The options for the time controls are 3/3 to 7/3. No less no more than that.
You have to keep a free game slot during all the tournament or else you'll be penalised with a loss in case your game doesn't start on time. I'll do the pairings today, random pairing, and the games have to start sunday.
Post your feelings on the questions that should be debated: time settings and rated or unrated games.
Originally posted by AlphaAlekhineOk. Nice suggestion. People tell your favorite time. If we don't reach a consensus I'll try to make a decision that annoys all the least.
Perhaps we should vote on the time controls first, and then decide whether to have rated games or not. Just a thought to make it more expedient.
I vote for 3/3
