Question on RHP 500 Tourney

I am considering joining, however I notice the stipulation that "group size may vary". The last thing I want is to have another situation like the 2005 Championship where, all of a sudden, I have 20 extra games to play. Has anyone tried to accurately figure out what the potential group sizes will be for the tournament, assuming that around 150 - 200 people will participate?

i assume the group size will be 6 or less. because it says that it will probably be 6 and if there are going to be less that 500 people then the group sizes may be smaller.

Oh jeez. That's all i need. Please let me be in a group of 3 with David Tebb and Ironman.

"No more games."

No, it won't be. Doesn't look like it'll get even up to 200 members by the time the sign-ups are done.

I think the number of groups may vary, but that the max people in one group is 6. If they have 1 player left who doesnt fit in, I think they will create several groups of 5 people.

hi..i posted a question on a related topic but no one answered but
here i see posting...it is about the "3 day rule" does this mean that
if i join a tournament and have to go out of town for 6 days and
hence do not make a move in each game for more than 3 days that
i lose all the games..if this is so i can never join a tournament...it
appears to me that there is no holiday absences allowed or is there
a tournament type that has a longer than 3 day period that i could
join ?

you need to read up on timebank - 3 day move & 7 day timebank means that you can take 10 days for one move, as long as all the others come in at under 3!

have a look in the FAQ (site map, at the bottom of the page, then FAQ).

edit: the 7 days timebank can be used in little bits of course!

How do I know when the tournament starts? Does it start on a certain date?
Thanks

You get an e-mail if your tournament starts. Most tournaments will start when they are full..

But they never start on a weekend: too many people off doing other things. Apparently.
