Advanced Micro Dog #2

This is a small tournament for experienced players. A change from the previous advanced micro dog tournament is that the 2 highest rated will be seeded. If this turns popular I will start more tournaments similar to this.

Rules:

Players with a bulldog chess rating of 1300 or above may enter. Players that joined the Advanced Micro Dog #1 tournament may not enter before 12th August (Must give others a chance to join first).

Just say "join" to enter. First 4 players to join gets to participate.

The games will be bulldog chess with witch and hunter. Rules for the witch can be found here. Rules for the hunter can be found here. The starting position can be seen below:

Games will be rated and follow the correspondence rules posted here.

This is a single elimination tournament, where the winners in round 1 will play in the finals. The losers in round 1 will play a bronze match for 3rd place.

If a player loses by timeout in the first round, then a bronze match will not be held and the player losing by timeout gets 4th place.

If a game ends in a draw, then the players will play a new game with reverse colors.

After pairings have been posted a player will have 14 days to show up. Failing to show up within those 14 days may result in the game being lost by forfeit (however, the player should also receive a warning at least three days prior to the player losing by forfeit).

The 2 highest rated players will be seeded and the other 2 randomized.

Colors will be picked mainly for even color distribution (aiming for players to have equally many white and black games).

The tournament will start after 4 players have registered.

Good luck to all participants!

Bracket:

Game 1: JustARandomPatzer - kingsindianattack7

Game 2: aronian22 - haoming09

Final: aronian22 - JustARandomPatzer

@Bigbigbig360, is your rating above 1300++? Your rating needs to be 1300 and above to join this tournament.

its unrated

Btw even if it isn't, your rating needs to be 1300++ to join.

It is rated.

Sad that there are only 2 participants so far...

I'll join when I get to 1300. 

Ok.

Kings, I think your rating is only 1287.

Yeah I thought I won vs. ry. I issued a time warning on a my turn

You need to wait until the game finishes then you will gain rating. Just a Time Warning doesn't mean game ends.
