Tournament Schedule Hello all chess players! I have decided to create the schedule for the tournament so that everyone is on the same page with what dates that are required for, and the length of the tournament itself. In short, every week is a new round in the tournament, which you will be required to play one match against a single opponent. You will get five days to complete your match – Monday through until Friday each week. Because of the duration of the tournament and the time allocated for each match, the tournament will not finish until mid-February next year. If this changes your ability to participate please let me know. Please note that over the Christmas and New Year’s week there will not be any matches; which has been included in the schedule below. 5th – 9th of December Round 1 12th – 16th of December Round 2 19th – 23rd of December Round 3 *No Round during Christmas break – 25th of December to the 1st of January, 2017* 2nd – 6th of January, 2017 Round 4 9th – 13th of January Round 5 16th – 20th of January Round 6 23rd – 27th of January Round 7 30th of January – 3rd of February Round 8 6th – 10th of February Round 9 13th – 17th of February Round 10 20th – 24th of February Reserved for Grand Final if highest scorers are tied Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, thanks.
Okay, I'm going to use the time between this and the start of the tournament to learn how to play chess. Count me in
I had to change some things around due to the character limit, but all is done! __________________________ Only five days left to sign up for the tournament all!! Make sure to get your name in here or message me privately so that we make sure you get a place in it. Thank you to everyone who has signed up already.
The signup period technically is meant to be ending in just a little over two hours - however, I will be extending it so that you instead have another 24 hours from now to get your names in if you haven't already. So far, the current list of participants are as follows: If your name is not on the above list but you would like to enter, please let me know as soon as possible! Furthermore, if you're name is on that list but you feel it is an error, or you cannot compete any longer in the tournament, please let me know as soon as you can so I can. Thanks to everyone who has signed up! We have so many people playing in the tournament, it's going to be awesome!
I will be mentally destroyed after finals. Also I'll have work for a month. Also I'll be starting next semester too. Also I have not played chess regularly in well over 6 years. I'll be taking myself out of this tourny thx tho @BlueCore
