Enjoy the meme, and I hope to see more chess.com members join. We just need 4 more players ![]()
join and then unjoin immediately
Lol, so you're not joining
yup
It looks like I have overestimated the number of people that are going to join. The new system would involve a tournament of 12 people play in a 4-round swiss, in which three single-elimination brackets are made for four players each depending on standings. The top bracket (top 4 players) winner would be the winner of this tournament, and the winners of the 2nd and 3rd bracket would be 2nd to 3rd place. If this system is too complicated, I will explain it during the tournament.
Edit: Lol, I couldn't wait to get this tournament started, so I posted pairings early. Negotiate here while I post the results thread.

can i join?
Unfortunately, the tournament already started. However, you could follow this tournament, which is the next best thing to playing on this tournament
ok, how do i do that?
Really you just have to wait until round 1 started, and then peek at the pairing and negotiations, which are both on this thread.
Start it please :>
I want to make sure everyone is active on chess.com and aware that the tournament exists. Thank you for the comment, and we only need 2-3 more comments from different people.
