Ok 29 players are ready to play,.

Here is the Link of 1st round pairing :

https://swisssystem.org/Tournament/Details/93e78e7dd7094527b0ce023480c1ab59 

Round 1 schedule : Jun 01 - Jun 20.

Time control is : 90m+30s

You will negotiate (privately via chess.com inbox message) with your opponent for the agreed date/time for playing the game.
After both of you agreed, then please write at comment section in this forum page about date/time you will play it.

Once any game is finished, please write at comment section in this forum page with format :
" Round number#, player1 (W) vs player2 (B), result , and game link"

The updated Spreadsheet to store Date/time game played, result, and game link from Round to Round : 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JQjXcjAXKNmob5IcIjilR8sT2OEKShC8/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106384977997101930227&rtpof=true&sd=true 

NOTE :

* From my experience, if the difference rating of 2 players are too high, then the challenge often did not work.

What you should do is, either :
- 1 of you (or both of you) add Friend Request to the other. After you two had become Friend, then the challenge will usually work well.
- or setup the Unrated game.

* Anyone can still "Late-Join" for the next Rounds, they will have 0.5 Bye as starting point.

Have fun, everyone !

I have communicated & negotiated with my Rd-1 opponent nelsonmason via chess.com message, and have agreed the date/time for our game.

This is example how player will write the agreed time.

" Rd-1 :  nelsonmason (W) vs fhunfi (B) is schedule for :
 Saturday, Jun 04 , 19:00 EDT " 

& I update it to the Spreadsheet that will store Date/time game played, result, and game link from Round to Round : 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JQjXcjAXKNmob5IcIjilR8sT2OEKShC8/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106384977997101930227&rtpof=true&sd=true  

Hello fhunfi, I cannot figure out how to message my oponnent or find his profile. How do I do these things.  Please give me some instructions. 

Also is my opponent primechesstime or primetimechess?  The names are different on the link above and on the Google spreadsheets.

One more question. What time zone is to be referenced when setting the time for the match?  I have no idea what time zone my opponent may be in.

Hi @dwcofer.

`1) First of all . thanks for correction. I have edited the spreadsheet to correct name : primetimechess.

2) To see your someone's profile, please type this (let say you search for your opponent's name : primetimechess . You can change primetimechess to any other name
https://www.chess.com/member/primetimechess

Or : another way :  https://www.chess.com/clubs/members/90m-30s  is the list of all members of 90+30 club, you can find any name there,  then click with same result.

After you open the player's profile, you can Add Friend, you can also send Message

3)  from the profile, if you can see that he lives in US, you can refer the time to EDT.
if other than US, please refer to UTC time control.   
but in general , UTC reference is common for all.

Please let me know if still any difficulty

1 of good time converter tool is : https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/utc-to-edt-converter 

Rnd. 1 - fiverRabbit (W) vs. padre (B) is scheduled for:

Thursday, 6/02, 12:00 pm CDT

Thanks fhunfi. That was easy enough.  Thanks

I also found another way in the meantime. If I click on Social on the menu on the left side, then  on Members, there is a search box on the right side (have to scroll down a bit), and I can type in my opponent's name and get to their profile.

Thanks for your help.

I am in too and I wish good games for eveyone .

I would suggest negotiations of time to be given in UTC so there will be no misunderstandings
