This is a "No Vacation" tournament!

Welcome to the SCARIEST trilogy of tournaments ever!!!  pirate*

It is October, time to celebrate Halloween and Dia de los Muertos!! So I've designed a trilogy of terrifying tournaments for anyone who is brave enuf to try them.  rock on!

Since October is the 10th month of the year, each tournament will have 10 players.  worried  When you've got scary things coming after you, you need to move very fast, so all of these tournaments will be set at only 1-day per turn (you'd better be able to keep up).  nail biting And just to make things even scarier, BOTH games per opponent will start immediately!!  That means you will be playing 18 simultaneous games (and any mathematician can tell you that 18 is what you get when you add 6+6+6 devil).

These tournaments will be going very fast, so vacation time is NOT allowed.  time out  However, just to make sure that no one gets hurt for real (it is all in fun after all) these games will also NOT be rated.  whew!

Here are the Custom Trophies for the Halloween Gambit Tournament:

2nd Place:

3rd Place:

This tournament is from the Standard Starting Position

Sorry everybody!!!  I screwed up!!!  All the games in this Trilogy Tournament were supposed to start from their respective positions.  However, I forgot to set it when I created them, and the system won't let me edit that now.  There have also been requests that I make the tournament 2-days per move instead of just 1. 

So what I have decided to do is create a second set of tournaments from the selected positions at 2-days per move.  I will leave these tournaments active in case you want to play at 1-day per move from the standard opening position.  But just in case you thought you were going to be playing from a specific position, you might want to withdraw from this one (you don't have to of course) and join one of these instead:

Sorry about the confusion.  Good Luck and Have Fun!!!
