Won on time & withdraw

Posted by jootoo on Sunday, Jan 18 at 11:57pm

24 hours ago,I created this tournament and expect to recruite 100 players in 7 days, that is why I set it start after 7 days.

now we have 95 players, maybe I will start this tournament earlier, say tomorrow or today, when the 100 player join, if you do not mind.

I like to tell you something, please ignore it if you know it before.

Won on time

this is the knock-out tournament, you will play two games with your opponent (one white & one black), the winner will go to next round, or two of you go to next round if tie.

Sometimes your opponent do not show up and you win on time, it is quite normal at tournament, you will go to next round.

But if both players in the same group do not show up and tie, then they go to next round, it is not fair for other winner go to next round after playing tough games, so I will remove these 2 players, for this case.

Withdraw

If you complete your two games and could not win and go to next round, and you wish to attend other tournament, suggest to click "withdraw" on this tournament to quit, your rating will keep the same.

thanks

It would be better to play 2 simultaneous games in group - two times faster all tournament and much more fun because situation in other game would very affect at dicisions in another one. :) 2 is not 10 simul, like the big tournaments of chess.com, so no reason to make it 1.

"What if a registered player exceeds the rating limit by the time the tournaments starts to play?  Will he be disqualified?"

I prefer to let them stay, for the tournament will start in several days, or start automatically when the 100th player join, a small rating variance is not a issue and the match is still fair enough.

thanks
