Avatar of Martin0

This is a small tournament for experienced players. 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 (including those that joined Advanced Micro Dog #1 and #2 tournament).

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

The games will be bulldog chess with witch and time thief. Rules for the witch can be found here. Rules for the time thief can be found here. The advanced rules for time thief is not used, so the time thief can not restore a captured king. 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!

Can I offer my place in this tournament to HolographWars? I was not aware that by joining here, I snatched the opportunity away from holo. I will join the first next tournament that is organised with Time Thief.
