Announcing the third annual Team Tennessee intra-state tournament here on chess.com. 

The Team Tennessee Bishops 2011 Tournament begins on Sunday, 22 May 2011 and is an invitation only event.  Only Team Tennessee group members are invited, but all Team Tennessee group members are invited. If you have completed at least two rated game here on chess.com and would like to participate but do not receive your invitation by Saturday, 14 May 2011, leave a comment below or contact mongreltiger and watch your inbox here on chess.com.

The tournament brackets will be made up of five members each meaning you will play at most eight games at once, two games against four different members.  You will play one game with the white pieces and one with the black pieces against each opponent in your bracket.  Two players will advance each round.

Vacation time is not allowed in this tournament.  Otherwise, the maximum time/move allowed is three days.  These games will be rated games, meaning they will affect your turn-based rating here on chess.com.

If you have any questions or suggestions, or if you disagree with or dislike some component of the tournament rules, leave your comments below or contact me privately at mongreltiger.  None of the tournament settings is chiseled in stone, so if there is something you do not like about the way this tournament is organized, do not hesitate to mention it below or contact me privately.  I welcome all suggestions.

Thanks all.  I hope you will all register as soon as you receive your invitation, and I look forward to your participation in the tournament.
