Live tournament test via challonge.com

Hi all

I created a test tournament on https://challonge.com/ to know if it meets what we need for our chess.com club to play live tournaments.

I would like to start with only a few ppl otherwise it will to long to test. Make an account on Challonge and let me know you username on there so I can add you in the tournament. There is not yet a starting date, I’ll do that when some ppl have joined. Also the setting is ‘swiss system’. Normally that would be fine.

This won’t force us to play on a certain day and time like it would be directly on chess.om. So the way to work with this is to befriend the opponent you have to play. Then you can challenge each other directly OTB on the ChessUp 2 board (even against the ChessUp 1 board it would work this way). Because on the ChessUp 2 board we don’t need our phone there is a opportunity to talk to each other while playing. We have a ChessUp Discord with atm 5 channels to voice-chat while playing: ChessUp. It’s easier to talk while you challenge each other so you know if something doesn’t work and it is fun .

The intention is to finish the matches as quickly as possible. (I live in Belgium-Europe so the time difference and the daily schedules can make a difference). In the near future the intention would be that there is 1 person per continent organizing tournaments and of course also an occasional tournament for everyone.
