I'm new to the site sort of. Could someone form a quickie type tournament with me as one of the participants? I need to get to know this site better and start playing more games! So, could anybody out there, start a random tournament in my name(lol, but at least that way, I can FIND this tournement). It is a semi huge place here and I don't know how to start games even on my Team that i am on now...Any takers?Cool

Now, you have to do the ground work to fill it up.

1. Make your friends aware of the tournament.

2. Spread the word in any groups of which you are a member.

3. Post a thread in the public forums.

 

Copy and paste the above tournament link in all communications.

I'm pretty sure that only paying members may direct tournaments.

 

Anyway, the benefit tournament is now underway.

can I check something about tournaments?

I joined a 1400 - 1600 tournament because I played too little online games to qualify for the other "senior" tournaments, now I won quite a few games to exceed 1600 rating... so what does that mean? If I then withdraw, would I penailize myself from the tournament??

If you withdraw before the start then there is no penalty.

 

The TD may, at his discretion, remove you anyway, before the start.
