2023 Owner Battles Registration

Sort:
Avatar of Nimzowitsch

Registration for the Owner Battles is now open.

There will be 3 divisions, but you can only compete in 1.

Divisions:

  • Division 1: U1300
  • Division 2: 1300-1699
  • Division 3: Open

The format for each division will be a daily tournament, with 3 days per move, no vacation, a maximum group size of 4, and 2 advancing per group.

Register by providing your club name, link, and state what division you want to enter. The only requirement is 50 members. You actually have to be the owner to compete. As such, you can only register for 1 club.

League points for the top finishers are still pending.

I could also use someone to make the tournaments, since I do not have a membership.

Only for owners.

I think that’s how it worked in past seasons.

Hello! Please, I am confuse about "Owner Battles".
Is it a tournament where the owners (only the owners) plays?

Correct. The owners who register play in a Daily Tournament

Also, sry for anyone who thinks 1 week is too short, but in my experience, after that first week for anything, it is difficult to get more people to join (such as Daily Matches). I am also doing a blog that involves this, and want to get it out soon.

Ths for the answer. Also, will it give prizes like 2022?

I’m still deciding what the League Points will be, but I am thinking of doing it the same as 2022. I am also unable to give memberships rn.

I think that you need to define if there is prizes (and what prizes) before to start the tournament. Maybe the prize can be points on another League (or another thing not expensive to you).

I could to create the Daily Tournament to you. 
But I need more settings:
- Tournament Name?

- Start Date?

- Should to use "tie breaks"?

- Do you want custom trophies?

Thank you for agreeing.

I will contact you with details of each tournament once I have them finalized.

Yeah, my plan was to do that. I think I might just have it be League Points for the general leaderboard (I still need to update the one in 2022)
