Non-Members Tournament

I've already posted this in the tournament forum, but for some added exposure, I felt it might be good to post it here too.

Anyways, I'm looking to start a tournament for non members. I'll organize it from my desk, starting with a draw for who plays who. It will be a 1 match elimination tournament with random colours. A drawn game will be played again with the colours swiched. Time controls will be 3 and 7. When everyone is ready to start, I'll message each player, telling them who they are to play. They will then start a game with their assigned opponent. Players should note that it is important to always keep a spot or two open for tournament games. Let's see how this goes.

To join, PM me. I will accept the first 15 Messages I receive.

there's one going on right now. It's nice because the site allows you to go over 6 because it's a tournament, but I think it's going to be hard getting everyone to cut down to 4 games before it starts. Sometimes it takes weeks for games to end... they just drag. I'll play though 😉

OK that's great wildgrass .. can you do me a fav. and PM me anyways?.. i'd just like to have everyone's name sitting in my email so i can mass mail the 15 of you with group info.

6 of 16 are already in... This tournament should fill up quickly.
7 now......

how do i join?

You will all be recieving messages over the next two days regarding who plays who (I can only send 10 messages to 15 people, so it will take two days).

What is the rating range, do you know? Very nice idea of yours to create that kind of tournament 🙂

Restless Soul will take the cake. Atleast I'm hoping 🙂

Thanks..but I think you just jinxed me..now I will finish dead last, and get no cake 🙁

I'm not sure whether I want to win or not lol. If I do it'll look bad, on the other hand, do I really care?

OH well, I'm not gonna win anyways.
