You play two games, so both players have white once.

In case of a 1-1 tie, both players advance.

What are the rules for draw? Is a win decided by colours or rating or a new game?

It's been almost 11 months since I set up this tournament(January 12th).  For the longest time, there was only a small handful of players signed up.  So it stayed on the bottom of the open tournaments list, and very few people even saw it.

Then, as time went by, and more people started signing up for it, the higher up the list it went, and more people would see it, and more people would sign up for it, and it just kept getting faster and faster and faster.

The last 25 players have signed up in only the last 6 days.  The 25 before that took 10 days.  That's 16 days for the last 50 people to sign up, and over TEN MONTHS to get the first 50!!!  Thank you to all the people who have been patiently awaiting this tournament for the last 11 months!!

Good Luck Everyone!!!  Have Fun!!!

Hey guys, I just qualified for this tournament!
I can't wait! 

let the max be 70 players so it can start sometime this month

This will be fun. Lol, I like the trophies. 

Oh wow!!  That last 25 sure went a LOT faster than the 25 before it.  I'm sure the next 50 will go faster than this 50 did.

Alright we are halfway there, let's get another 50 people registered and gets this ball rolling :)
