Everyone interested would have to agree on a time limit. We could hold a blitz or G/30 swiss , or a round robin. The tournament could last for a couple of days if need be. Just thought I would throw it out there, for those who like instant gratification. I know that I could do five games in an after noon, but everyone would need to be johny on the spot.
Ravello the smart ass.

I tried (am still trying?) to run a tournament on Uchess and its is hard work. I had a group of 3, one from SA, one from the US and one from Austrailia - it is a logistical nightmare.

If it was say 10:00am in the us it would be early afternoon in the uk. It is just one of the small details to be worked out, just like any other tourney I guess. The time and date would need to be set up far in advance (possibly a monthly tournament) It would be five rounds (five games total) Time limit could be what works for everyone. It could span over 2 weekends for an hour.
I think it is doable. You need people who will show up. I can do the pairings on my program pretty swiftly (about 2 minuts depending on how many are playing once the initial data is entered in advance.).
If we could set a time and date for about three weeks in advance I think it could work. No problem.
I need a minimum of eight players.
