This is a new tournament series I decided to create for Beginners/Noobs and folks like me who are just getting going in playing chess. Each tournament will be named after a well-known New England ski resort and will include a trail name from that mountain. This is the very first tournament I have ever created, and my hope is that if things go well with this format, I will have an additional tournament or three over the coming winter/spring.
Best of luck to all who sign up and, unlike in skiing, hope you won't go downhill as you play!
New tournament
A new tournament for those having an ELO rating of 600-900 has just been made available to sign up for. Its name is the "Sugarloaf Widowmaker-NE Series #1" This tournament should proceed fairly quickly as it is set up so that: 1) Time control is set to 1 day; 2) No vacation is allowed; 3) there will be 16 groups of 4 players with only 1 player { the one with the best record } from each group proceeding on to the next round.
Again, to sign up, your ELO must be under 901, in order to make for a more competitive event. Have a look and sign up if you'd like to play!
