After several requests, me and captain have decided to make this boss tourney. If you have no idea what I am talking about, go check out my u800 tournament.
https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/free-coaching-tournament-for-players-under-700-eloSo, here is how it’s going to work:
Single elimination. One loss and you are out! Pairings will be RanDoMizEd. They will NOT be decided off of rating. It will be a completely random bracket of 10 players. HOWEVER: If your opponent is 450 elo higher than you are, your opponent is to remove one minor piece from their board. The minor piece will be of THEIR choice, not yours.
Games will be in a best of 3 setup. 1 10/0 game, 1 3/0 game, and 1 1/0 game. Whoever wins the most out of those moves on, the other is EliMInAtEd. If it is drawn, we will go to clock armegeddon. Clock Armegeddon will be explained below.

Clock Armegeddon is a time breaker format. Here is how it will work:
The drawn players will play 1 5/0 game to determine a winner. However, both plays are able to bet a time.

The highest bet time gets to play white, HOWEVER… they need a win to qualify. They will play the 5 minutes.

The other player will play black. They will have whatever time they bet on their clock and will be able to qualify with a draw or win.
Feel free to ask any questions below!

Rules:
YOU MUST PLAY ALL 3 OF YOUR MATCHES AT THE SAME TIME. I know it’s a heavy ask, but I don’t want any confusion with what’s been played or not played. I don’t care the order of what you play in the matches, but I want them all done at the same time.
MATCHES ARE TO BE DONE IN 5 DAYS OR LESS ONCE PAIRINGS ARE RELEASED. If neither player can figure out a time, it will come down to one singular bullet game to determine a winner. If that game isn’t played within another 3 days, the higher rating will advance.
YOU MUST COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR OPPONENT TO SET A DATE!!!
I stress this so hard in these tournaments because I see far too often players not communicating until their opponent reached out. I need both sides going back and forth. If a player reaches out and the other doesn’t, this lack of communication after the 5 days will result in forfeit. I will need a screenshot to appeal this.
Lastly: KEEP GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP!
No cursing, false accusations, stalling during matches, or anything that would be considered bad sportsmanship. Any of this will result in a removal from the tournament (I need a screenshot to appeal).
That’s all I have. Good luck everybody, have fun.

Ima draw a bracket. Hold up.

nahhhhhhh it should be higher rated players for a bye

Thats how it works for every single tourney

and lowest bet is for BLACK in every single tourney

So we need either 14 or 8

then just remove 2 lower rated players (no offense) or just wait for slots to fill up

My handwriting looks like a 5 yr old’s 😭 but w 14 this would be the bracket.

Ima wait for a bit

Alr I am fine w that

Just make it 16 people and a ko tourney ( I anyway dont want to be humiliated again and again lol )

oh.

Sure

You wanna be a final boss?
