Greetings everyone! There is only 2 weeks to Regular 4545 #29. The tournament is one where the paired players must agree about when to play. Note that all participants will need to comply with The Rules and our Protocol of Discussion. ...

We often play Negotiated Games here. This implies that the paired players need to agree about when to play.


For this purpose, one of the first things you should do as a new member is to post your preliminary / typical availabilities here. Show us everything! Then I will transfer your data there.


The idea is to help your future opponents offering you with decent, compatible time slots to start a slow LIVE game. Let's be efficient!


Moreover, if you are a new member and / or a non-qualified member, you need to take a QUIZ in order to participate in those Negotiated Game Events. This is because there are several subtleties that you need to get acquainted with.
