How about having Swiss-style tournaments on RHP, much like is described in this website: http://www.chessctr.org/primer.htm
Originally posted by trumpiSwiss-System (SS) tournaments are quite fun for Over-The-Board play. I was a USCF tournament director for several years and am quite familiar with it.

Originally posted by trumpiI think I get what you mean. You would like for everyone to continue to the end of the tournament rather than using the knockout style.
The "Grouped Swiss" approach is a very good idea. One of the nice things about Swiss tournaments is that you obtan a ranking after the tournament. So in this grouped swiss tournament the groups are ranked. If you win your group, you move to a higher ranked group, etc. The last round determines the final ranking of the player. Three or four rounds should be nice. What do you think?
