Final Draft : Tournaments

Sort:
Avatar of Rifleman7

Members of The Blunder Wizards, it will be important for you to know the timings and fixed dates and days when we [@Yeshwanth1402 and me(@Rifleman7)] will be organising events in the clubs. Yes, I know that you might have not enjoyed the club yet, due to the lack of tournaments and arenas being hosted by admins and Super Admins. The sole reason for this was- Examinations going on: My school exams will get over on 13th, and Yeshwanth's Board exams will end on the 10th of March. We apologise for not conducting these enjoyable tournaments, but definitely have a genuine reason for that. 

To make an organised, fixed, and non-stressful plan, I have meticulously planned everything. If you have any doubts/queries/suggestions regarding the timings, and seek to adjust, just message me (@Rifleman7). The Final Draft is here, hope you like it: 

15th March(Saturday): 3+2 Blitz Swiss Tournament 

22nd March(Saturday): 3+0 Blitz Arena

29th March(Saturday): 1+0 Bullet Arena

4th April(Saturday): 10+0 Swiss Tournament

5th April(Sunday): 5+0 Swiss Tournament. 

Timings: Every Swiss/Arena Tournament will be held on 5:30 p.m IST (Indian Standard Time) which is UTC+5:30. So in UTC it will be 12 noon. This format will be followed throughout the year, i.e. every 7 days, no matter the month, an event will be organised. After every 4th Saturday, on a Sunday, an additional event will be organised. 

If you have queries regarding the timings, and suppose if you live in countries like the USA, which does not correspond with IST(as morning in US is night in India and morning in India is night in US), you can just reply on this forum, and if there are multiple people demanding, I shall look into the matter on organising tournaments at intervals of 12 hours (i.e 2 tournaments in a day) to compensate for the time. If you can't understand this, I mean to say that (for example) an arena is hosted at 15th March, 5:30 p.m IST. I will also set an arena for 5:30 a.m IST, that is 12 hours later, so that if you are sleeping/not available during 5:30 p.m IST (due to time differences), you can always play in the arena that will be hosted 12 hours later. For this, please message me, as no messages will mean only standard dates which are mentioned in green. If a sufficient amount of people want the 12-hour format, they should reply, on this forum itself.

The Pattern is: *Every Saturday (weekend) there will be an arena/swiss tournament. I have picked this slot as Saturday is an optimum day for people since most people are free/not working/have spare time during Saturdays. 

*After every fourth Saturday, an additional Swiss Tournament will be hosted, which will be of mostly 5+0 Time Control. It will be hosted on Sundays. 

*This ensures that there are neither too many events, nor too less/deficit events in a month. Vote Chess, Daily Matches. and invitational Club Matches will be played regularly without a schedule, whenever we create or accept a challenge from another team, or whenever we are invited (for example: 3+0 THES tournament on March 7 is a tournament in which we were invited by The High Elo Society, no admin had the authority to accept/decline it. Whenever a club is invited to a Multi-Club Arena, that club, on that exact moment, gains entry to the entry.)

*ANY DOUBTS, please comment and feel free to ask anything. 

I hoped you liked the format. The timings are standard, acceptable, and good too. Daily Matches and Vote Chess will always be going on. Every seven days, a new arena/Swiss tournament will be hosted, and that too of different time controls- Bullet, Blitz and Rapid Chess. The division is shared among Swiss Tournaments and Arenas. Through this format, a month can have have a maximum of 6 events. For instance, the 1st Day of a month is Saturday, then an event will be organised on 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 23rd(after fourth saturday), and 30th. Hope you liked it. Enjoy!

I'll win, and bro Agriya, your rating is not even 1000, how are you gonna compete in 1300-1400 range. If you don't know, there are some people rated 2000+ in the club. The club's owner @Rifleman7 is himself 1500 in Blitz and Rapid

I can defeat someone with around 1300 elo

What do you even mean rating isn't stable? Does it fluctuate by 100-200 points every day? Nobody would ever believe your trash talking.

Avatar of Chrono7graph

Ok we'll see in the Arena itself

Avatar of M-S-D-M

Yes if play and win it will jump by 100 if I lose it will fall by 100

Avatar of Chrono7graph

Your rating in Blitz is 500, Bullet is around 250 and in Rapid, Highest you've ever achieved in 961. Don't talk rubbish bro, just admit you are good but not great

Oh so great! You became World Blitz Champion it seems

Avatar of Chrono7graph

Bro you have to understand how have a low rating, and people rated below 1000 are not just good enough. The league in which I compete in an elite one, with strong opponents, and Grandmasters face even tougher competition, like Hikaru, Magnus, Firouzja

Bro can u mind your own business

Avatar of mattxlatex

Bro I would like to demand the '12-hour format' as 5.30 p.m is IST in 7.00 a.m in New York. That would be too early for me as I sleep on Saturdays till 9.00 a.m and open chess.com a few hours later, because I need to do primary activities like jogging, eating, reading etc.

It will be a problem for me so please shift to the 12-hour format. Thanks 😊

If more 2-3 people also have a problem, then I will implement the 12-hour format. But as per advice from other admins and rules, we cannot listen to just one member raising the voice and change according to his demands. I mean to say, we cannot change rules for just 1 person, but I will be glad to change it even if a couple more members have the same issue 😊
