Welcome to the 3nd Annual Red Sox Fans Post-Season Tournament. The season #1 champion is yours truly, stats_man. Season #2 will have the championship match Criminole vs. stats_man/tennmen and will start soon. Now for this year. We have 8 players who are seeded 1-8 based on our final standings in the regular season tournament. The match-ups will be 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7...etc. I will create a separate topic for each pairing and post the game. Feel free to ask questions or banter with your opponent there. Please find your opening round match-ups below. The player listed on the left is the higher seed for purposes of what follows: (1) Winterzero vs. (8) corrijean (2) stats_man vs. (7) azulRonin (3) tennmen vs. (6) jjaillet (4) Criminole vs. (5) Yankee1 The first round is best of 5, and is played as follows: 1. Games are 3 days/move with vacation allowed. 2. Games can be rated or unrated at the discretion of the players. 3. Each pairing will play 2 simultaneous games versus one another, one as black and one as white. The first player to reach 3 points (4 in later rounds) will win the series. 4. If game 5 ( 7 in later rounds) is necessary, then the higher seed will be white for that game. 5. If still tied after 5 games (7 in later rounds), then there will be a sudden death chess match with the higher seed getting white in first sudden death game. For each subsequent draw, players will switch colors until a winner is determined. 6. Make sure to label your games as follows, depending on which round it is: Round #1, Game X (where X is the game #) Semifinal Round, Game X Championship Series, Game X See example on my profile once my first round opponent accepts my invitation. Good luck everyone. Look for a season 4 invite which, as usual, will begin at the first pitch of first regular season Red Sox game. stats_man

Well, no sooner do we say goodbye to the MLB Season then we begin the post-season here. Welcome to the season #3 championship tournament: So far I have confirmations from AzulRonin, tennmen, jjaillet, Winterzero, and, of course, myself. The following players have seven (7) days to confirm their intention to play on: Criminole, El_Zorro, Yankee1. You guys can check in here, or respond to my message from earlier. Once I get the roster set, I will self-impose a three (3) day time limit on myself to announce the pairings and signal the start of the post-season. As usual, you guys just have to worry about challenging each other and playing chess, and I will take care of the bookkeeping (and play chess too of course!). While all that plays itself out, please find below the rules of the post-season specifically the first round. Those of you playing in the season 2 post-season will have the unique experience of playing for 2 separate championships: The first round is best of 5, and is played as follows: 1. Games are 3 days/move with vacation allowed. 2. Games can be rated or unrated at the discretion of the players. 3. Each pairing will play 2 simultaneous games versus one another, one as black and one as white. The first player to reach 3 points (4 in later rounds) will win the series. 4. If game 5 ( 7 in later rounds) is necessary, then the higher seed will be white for that game. 5. If still tied after 5 games (7 in later rounds), then there will be a sudden death chess match with the higher seed getting white in first sudden death game. For each subsequent draw, a new sudden death chess match shall be played, and players will switch colors until a winner is determined.
