Well you can join once Russ starts it. Don't get impatient, because he's a very busy man 🙂. Although I'm worried that it will start while I'm on vacation, which would be a disaster for me 🙁.
Hmm, I thought it would be best if we left the option open to the black player. I think the majority of games will be accepted since that seems the best response, but the option to decline the gambit should be open don't you think? Hm, IDK, it seems you guys don't want this though and I understand so I will send Russ an email asking him to change it.

You guys are a hassle 😛. Anyhow, email sent and I now expect that the setup will be this...
Can you confirm what the time control will be? I'd be interested, but only providing the time control is long enough. I guess there will be others who will only be interested in a short time control, so it is a balance.

Are fixed opening tournaments rated?

It seems as though the tournament WILL occur, with this starting position. And time controls will be 7/14, 7/7, or 3/21 with groups of 4.
