Sprite's Double Round Robin Tournament
Sort:
i'll play...don't care about it is rated or not.
No one else is interested?
Perhaps I should just be more patient!
Can I sign up aswell?
I'll be interested to see how your experiment goes. I assume you'll have an updated blog or site where the competitors, games and progress will be posted. I wish you luck. I am pleased you are exploring whether members can start their own tournaments as I asked this in a blog about 2 weeks (?) ago.
I'll play.
Yes I'm very interested, so I would like to play & my preference to rated game. I just win my first game to a rated more than 1500 & now i'm playing to a rated more than 1700. I'm in a club here in my country Mauritius , the club called B4,with about 22 players in 2 categories playing round robin,& actually I'm second in the 2nd category of ten players with 6 matches to go, and only one defeat.
Count me in!
JuliusH, I'm going to make a series of blogs on the tournament(s).
To everyone who expressed interest, I'm going to wait for another day or two to see if there's more interest. I've been hearing a lot of asking for tournaments, so I assume as night rolls around more people will be interested.

Okey dokey, just tell us when you are ready.

Ill play. I might get crushed but Ill play.
Sign me up
Il play, sign me in
As of now, 10 people have expressed interest. There's a group of 5 from rating 1700-1878, so I will begin that now. I'm going to wait a little longer for more people between 1200-1700, to provide a little more balance (and challenge).
huh?
Sprite, you also might want to add a cross-table to show who won (+), lost (-), and drew (=) to whom as results begin to pour in.
i'd be happy to play, rated or unrated it doesn't matter.
READ FIRST: If you are interested after reading, please post/message me saying I am interest ALONG WITH your current online chess rating.
I know many of you guys have been asking about tournaments, so I've decided to make one (or more) to quench your thirsts.
Format:
Double Round Robin (play each player once as white and once as black)
Games will be Move/3 Days
All the games will be held simultaneously
Both players must agree to rated game (so game is unrated if one person wants unrated)
Maximum of 6 people per section
Vacation time can be used (it's the holidays)....but extended vacation use (over 7 days) or repeated (3+ times) will not be tolerated unless the TD (me) and your opponent is notified in advance. I'm taking time off for X-mas, so I'm not going to be harsh about vacation use during this time.
TD must be notified when game ends, I will have a standings page which I will update.
In case of a tiebreak, leaders will be notified by me and will play two games in the same format as the tournament.
Titles of the games should have "Sprite's Double Round Robin Game #1/#2"
DISCLAIMER: This is an experiment, so please be kind to me. I also have the right to force any competitor to forfeit match(s) if I deem it necessary.
If you are interested, please message me or reply to this topic. Any questions you have I will be more than happy to answer.
I'm not sure as to when I will close registration, it all depends on the number of people interested. If lots of people are interested, I will divide based on rating. Please (just incase) specify whether you would like to play in U-Rating specific section, open section, or don't care.
In the end, I'm directing this tournament for fun, so please make it an enjoyable experience for all.
