Everyone please note. Manual start 2012 01 02 or later.

This is for risk takers, committing to one long tournament for big points rather than eking out a few points at a time in multiple smaller tournaments. With this format you will play up to ten games each round for an estimated six rounds.

At the end someone has a chance of taking home more points than in any one tournament, with a similar ratings range, than they have ever done before.

The points available will be similar to this.   http://www.chess.com/tournament/all-your-eggs-in-one-basket2

Let's estimate 750 points

Minimum Games Completed: 50

Maximum Timeout %: 10

Players rated over 1400 will be removed before the tournament starts. Note where there are manually enforced conditions the tournament has to be on manual start.

Here are examples where three players in a group advance. They are in the rarefied height of thousand point tournaments. Please note it will not be possible to reach 1000 points in this ratings range.

These are all format 6(2)->3

A tournament with larger groups will have less rounds but then more simultaneous games are added to your games list at the beginning of each round.

    Only two matches left; they look like really good hard fought games.

    group 4     Was thinking they were in the second group that had not finished.

    mitch there isn't anyone in group six named pvilla

    Maybe even 5 might advance in Group 6 but Pvilla might have more total points. Not sure how this works but think he would get all the points that Scott64 has if he continues. But the again anything can happen in Chess.

    Thats right. I forgot about the tie breaker thing. I think the guy that came in first in the first bracket will pull off a win and he will tie for third and also tie in the tie breaker to advance.

    technically, if the remaining three groups produce three people advancing then you would be in the top 26

    Only 7 matches left out of the 240 to start. We will be down to the final 24 pretty soon. Does that mean I am actually in the top 24?

    We have 4 groups already finished and just 15 games remaining. Good job.

    Oh yes...I do remember you saying that. Truthfully I got pretty lucky against two opponents to advance. I did play well so they did not give it to me. I see that NWeb from that group advanced and the guy that destroyed everyone in that first group Joecerb I think his name is struggling which surprises me. Hey...you do not have to be the best just in the top half of 6. hehehe

    @ Deaneakin   I was checking out our bracket and saw a tough last match. Good job to adavance. I had a draw in the first round where my opponent was totally dominating me and when he went for a second King it put me in a stalemate. Took me by surprise. I still would have advanced but that took off a lot of pressure.

    6 of the 24 (25%) that go onto round 3 after just 3 weeks and another bracket finishing their final game. Moving at a good pace. Good job.
