Mini Tournament for Storm Force Group only, 8 players.  8 is the minimum number of players for a tournament to have 3 trophies - 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. 3 of the 8 participants will win a chess.com tournament trophy - that's 37.5% of the particants!  2 groups of 4, 1 player advances per group ,so the 2 players who advance to round 2 are assured 1st or 2nd place trophies, and the 3rd place trophy will go to a player who didn't even advance to round 2!  This tournament setup is the easiest and fastest way to get a chess.com tournament trophy playng the minimum number of games. I made it 2 days per move so the tournament will be over sooner. 

Hey, with all the Storm Forcin' we have to do, who has time to wade thorugh a huge tournamment with 100 players, a 3% chance of getitng a trophy, and 10 rounds or whatever, lasting well over a year, maybe 2? 

Good luck, have fun, and win a trophy!  37.5% chance!
