37 to go and this tournament will be named "THE LAST MAN STANDING TOURNAMENT"

WHEN YOU LOSE YOU ARE OUT SINGLE ELIMINATION

RULES WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:

#1 THE NUMBER YOU ENTER THE TOURNAMENT IS THE NUMBER YOU START FROM SO YOU WILL KNOW YOUR OPPONENTS NAME BEFOREHAND

#2 THERE WILL BE A 1 MOVE PER DAY MIN AND 1 MOVE PER 3 DAY MAX

#3 A STARTING POSITION WILL BE DETERMINED AND YOU WILL PLAY ON FROM THAT POINT

#4 YOU WILL PLAY AS WHITE INITIALLY IF YOU ARE AN ODD NUMBER BECAUSE YOU WILL BE THE ONE ISSUING THE CHALLENGE. EXAMPLE PSIHRISHI WILL BE WHITE TO FACE TORI. HBL WILL BE WHITE TO FACE HIS OPPONENT WHOEVER THAT IS AND SO ON AND SO ON.

#5 IN THE CASE OF A DRAW THE FOLLOWING WILL HAPPEN

(A) THE TWO PLAYERS WILL LET ME KNOW A DRAW HAS OCCURED

(B) A REMATCH WILL BE ISSUED

(C) A DIFFERENT STARTING POSITION WILL BE DETERMINED

(D) THE COLOR WILL BE RANDOM

(E) THE TIME LIMIT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY 1 MOVE PER DAY

IF THE GAME IS DRAWN BY REPITITION THEN THE PLAYER WHO MADE THE SAME MOVE CAUSING THE DRAW WILL BE OUT. THIS WILL  BE JUDGED AS UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT AND THE OTHER PLAYER WILL ADVANCE.

THE LAST PLAYER REMAINING IN THE TOURNAMENT IS THE WINNER AND THUS IS THE LAST MAN STANDING.

ONCE I HAVE DETERMINED THE STARTING POSTION FOR THE FIRST GAME I WILL POST IT HERE. THERE ARE 37 SPOTS REMAINING HOWEVER REMEMBER THE WINNER OF THE ONGOING TOURNAMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY HAVE A SPOT OPEN FOR HIM IN THIS ONE NO MATTER IF ALL THE SPACES ARE FILLED.

IF THE 40 SPACES ARE FILLED AND THE WINNER FROM THE ONGOING TOURNAMENT JOINS MAKING 41 THEN AT THAT TIME ADDITIONAL SPOT OR SPOTS WILL OPEN UP TO BE DETERMINED AT THAT TIME.

ok the winner of game 4 is dawkins
Avatar of highflyer
oh yea i guess that would be difficult. well there is plenty of time the first tourney still has a way to go yet but it would be frustrating i know ive had some very slow games myself my first tourney game with deepthreat5 is not finished yet either.
Avatar of highflyer

ok the winner of game one is psihrishi so because there is another winner already the two of you can face off.

psihrishi vs dawkins rottweiler and because the first 8 games are already assigned for the purpose of determining a starting position this will be game 9.

also because dawkins was the first winner declared he will play as white in this match.

yes you are right the lemming defense isn't right for this match and yes he is much lower than you. ok so how do i handle this lets see you are the highest rated player in competition tyk is somewhere in the middle. so there are really only a few people that would give you a challenge and i dont think i could even compete with you but nonetheless we need a solution. let me check on something real quick.

my game is still going on

ok doing me i assume you are talking about your game with king fork but that is in the first tourney. this post is for the second but no biggie.

ok next to psihrishi send him a message and remind him he is your opponent and regardless of ratings he needs to accept your challenge to remain in the tourney. you win some and you lose some. be nice though and let me know how it turns out. as far as the starting position i sent you a message about that i think.

ok
Avatar of highflyer
ok psihrishi i will enter and that will leave 25 spots left and we will face off. so as soon as you read this you can issue the challenge. you can choose the starting position but not the lemming.
