Untitled Tuesday Server Crash and Rescheduled Event
Unfortunately, last night's Untitled Tuesday event was interrupted by the live server crashing. Staff are aware of the crash and are investigating.
This ruined a very competitive tournament with a number of high-rated players, so we will host a rescheduled event next week, Tuesday, August 14th, at our usual time of 22:30 UTC. Time zone converter link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Untitled+Tuesday&iso=20180814T2230
All Untitled Tuesday members are eligible to join, even if you did not join last night's event.
Our Saturday event on Saturday, August 11th, at 5:00 AM UTC, is still going ahead as normal. Time zone converter link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Untitled+Tuesday&iso=20180811T0500
Both of those events will follow our usual format of 10 rounds, with a time control of three minutes plus two seconds increment.
Additionally, our 1500 Member Celebration is planned for Saturday, August 25th, at 15:00 UTC. Time zone converter link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Untitled+Tuesday&iso=20180825T1500. This will be a bullet tournament with a time control of two minutes plus one second of increment. Due to the shorter time control, we will play 12 rounds.
Since some people had played well and were in a strong position to finish in top 10 spots towards the 2018 leaderboard, it's only fair to give partial credit reflecting the standings as they stood at the time of the crash.
The crash appears to have happened at different times for different people. Many people were affected in the eight round, but some were affected in the seventh round.
Thus, the fairest time to score it is after the 6th round, when the standings were as follows:
Normally points are awarded as follows:
1st - 15 points
2nd - 12 points
3rd - 10 points
4th - 8 points
5th - 6 points
6th - 5 points
7th - 4 points
8th - 3 points
9th - 2 points
10th - 1 point
However, since the tournament was not complete, I'll award them as follows:
1st - 8 points
2nd - 6 points
3rd - 5 points
4th - 4 points
5th - 3 points
6th & 7th - 2 points
8th-10th - 1 point
