Banded Hardcore & Banded Grand Split (July)

Good ideas; wrong time of year?

I raise the matter because I've noticed poor/slow take-up to many of these July tournaments, leading to one obvious conclusion that the appetite for rapidplay tourneys is limited over the summer. A pity, imo

I think you can narrow it down to the fact that members can create their own Private Tournaments. All this has lead to a devaluation of a tournament win, in my opinion. Why enter a site tournament when you can create your own?

Right. I'm still a relative novice in here with regards what's possible. How do I create a private tourney? I guess I go RTFM - or the FAQ 🙂

As a clan leader with at least 6 clan members, you have access to

Fine. I'm not a clan leader, but I could work round that. So if I was interested in running a private, by-invitation only, octet or sextet, this could be set up under a clan? Would I be able to invite non-clan members to play?

What I'm mulling over is an invitation event for players close to my playing strength, either themed or open, that would include only carbon-based life-forms 🙄

Thanks for the help. I'll give it some thought and decide what to do

I can hear the grass growing waiting around on 4 more players to join the 1250-1300, 3-7 split, or is that paint drying I'm hearing? 😴

"July 2009 Banded Hardcore Grand" series - I have changed the min. players to 16 on remaining unstarted tournaments so these can get underway ASAP.
