you like that?!?!?!
there are 1000's of players here and you want a tournament for 21 players?
you want a time limit where: if someone does use their time then: 21 days x 40 moves = 840 days is the time their opponent spends waiting ?!?!

Originally posted by D43M0NSo did I. I figure I can get most of my Grand Split Seven games well underway before I get out of the opening in the upcoming 3/7 league games (when the damn first season ends). The Long Haul is simple enough thanks to a 21 day timeout and the Commodus is groups of 4 so only 6 games.
I would agree.
I just entered all open tournaments...hope I know what I'm doing.

Ratings are just more like Vegas-odds... The odds of a 900 beating a 2000+ are----.... wow I'm sorry, my calculator exploded. Son of a.... Meh, well regardless, you still have a shot. 😀
I know have a heap of games against players who are all about 500 ratings above me...2 against 2000+ (my ratings just under 900, for those to lazy to check)...I'm screwed.

Anyway based on current ratings you have a win expectancy of 0.051 against me.
Redoing the 900 vs. 2000 because I think I did it wrong I get a win expectancy of 0.0018.
