Hello

Beside the currently running Swiss tourney, I would like to facilitate a fresh alternative to get the regular practice of slow time control game.

Format of tourney: K.O (Knock out) system.

We need 16 players only. 

Then I will divide players into 2 categories, based on Rating order (Upper Section & Lower Section)

Players in Upper Section

U1 (1st highest rating)

U2 (2nd highest rating)

U3 (3rd highest rating)

U4 (4th highest rating)

U5 (5th highest rating)

U6 (6th highest rating)

U7 (7th highest rating)

U8 (8th highest rating)

Players in Lower Section

L1 ( 9th highest rating)

L2 (10th highest rating)

L3 (11st highest rating)

L4 (12th highest rating)

L5 (13th highest rating)

L6 (14th highest rating)

L7 (15th highest rating)

L8 (16th highest rating)

----------------------------

* Quarterfinal (time span to play: May 01 - May 31)

Upper Section

The pairing (4 boards)

U1 vs U5

U2 vs U6

U3 vs U7

U4 vs U8

Lower Section

The pairing (4 boards)

L1 vs L5

L2 vs L6

L3 vs L7

L4 vs U8

The 2 players will play 2 games (with either color). 
Time control: 90+30s (Rated)

Players will negotiate to find the best day/time to play their 2 games. The time span for finishing a round is 1 month (May 01 - May 31)

If the match result is 1-1 Tie, there will be no Tie-Break, then the winner of the Round is the Player with lower Rating (when registered).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

* Semi-Final (time span to play: Jun 01 - Jun 30)

For each section

The Pairing: (still 4 boards because all players (either winners and losers) from Quarter-Final will still be paired & playing.

Winner of Quarter-final vs Winner of Quarter-final
Loser of Quarter-final vs Loser of Quarter-final

---------------------------------------------------------

* Final (time span to play: Jul 01 - Jul 31)

For each section

The Pairing: (still 4 boards because all players (either winners and losers) from Semi-Final will still be paired & playing.

Winner of Semi-final vs Winner of Semi-final
Loser of Semi-final vs Loser of Semi-final

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To register, please leave your name, and current Rapid Rating in comment section.

- Before you register, pls consider time commitment you need for this tourney (to avoid unnecessary Forfeited game).

- 90m+30s game can be finished as long as 3 until 4 hr (or even a little bit more) if both players used all their time.

- Within 1 month span, you must find time play 2 games (no need to play 2 games in a row at same day), but you should better play in 2 different days.

- When the tournament finished, you all will play Total 6 games within 3 months, because in this K.O system the loser from previous round will still be pair with another Loser player. 

As soon as there are 16 players registered, I will close the registration & post the Quarter-Final pairing.

Thank you
