Please make tournaments

Why are we not conducting tournaments that only include our club. It is ridiculous. Do a tournament that only consists of our club.

What about participation levels? How can we make sure there is enough people online at any given moment and for any given length to warrant a tournament like that?

Sure, I'll make a Rapid one for Saturday or Sunday. Hope that is good for you.

Chessmasterpardhu, please let me know when you are free on Sunday. I will make a 90 (?) minute Rapid arena.

ok, give us a few days to discuss this within the admin. We might need someone to take the lead on vote chess.

Yes, we held a tournament and only 4 people participated. One player played with 2 minutes left. Maybe he was busy before that, but I know, from experience, that people like to jump into the arena at the end because they know they can survive 2 minutes. Only two games were finished. I think we will wait for the club to double in size before more live tournaments are scheduled. Vote chess, on the other hand, is going incredibly well so far, and I am already thinking about vote chess leagues in which you play a 2 game match against other clubs. That would fit with our profile of a daily match club.
