We are pleased to announce that Vote Chess League Headquarters  will organise the Second Open Swiss Vote Chess Tournament.

* The tournament is open to all groups that play Vote Chess.
* The tournament consists of 9 consecutive rounds, so you only play one vote game at a time.
* Playing tempo is 1 day per move.
* Pairing is done on the basis of the Swiss system, which means that your team will be pitted against another team that has done as well (or as poorly) as your own team.
* At the end of the registration period, a schedule will be published of fixtures.
* Players who are a member of more than one team, are strongly encouraged to impose self-discipline and play all games of the tournament with the same team.

We are looking for at least 18 teams in the tournament, with a maximum of 30, so discuss this in your group and register quickly! End of registration is 12 February 2010. The tournament is set to start on 15 February 2010.
