StreetHop/Yahoo Chess Tourney?

[AmerikazMost]

It was brought up in my other, so I figured I'd try and get one started.

If you're interested in playing, just say so in here. I'll make a bracket with random seeding. The first 16 people who say that they'd like to play are in. If it's less than 16, I'll cut it off at 8 instead.

Because these members have already expressed interest in playing, they get first dibs at a spot if they want it:

me
Dante
DarkPhantom13
Hymnz
Little Skittle
PuffnScruff
Saint33
Tiago

Each matchup would be best 2 out of 3 games. Each game having a 20 minute timer.


If you're interested, say so and I'll set it up.

Is this a serious commitment? I can't tell with the yawn.

 

[keco52]

It's not a yawn its "embarassment" that i have nothing better to do

and yes if its some time soon.

 

[Diaz]

I dont get it, so you retire the name © and you post on another name so the post count on © stays at 6666?

Could start tomorrow. Everyone is responsible for finding the time to play though.

[Saint33]

im only coming back cos ive just finished work and need to chill out for a bit. Thought this would be an interesting thing to enter, so I posted. As stated in my previous thread I'm not leaving/retired, I'm just much less active than I was before. I'm logged in on this account because I like 6666, yesand couldn't be fucked entering the symbol cos firefox + numerically entered ascii codes (at least, my one) don't seem to mix too well. At least you can sleep better tonight safe in the knowledge that I am safe, and well, and thinking of you. x

sorry

lol..i just mean that if i put you on the bracket, you'll have to make sure that you can find time to play whoever you're up against.

i think i'll give everyone 2 days from the time the matchup is set to get in there and play. after that, both of the players will forfeit that round and the next one.

20 mins is not too bad, you don';t really have to rush. Most of my games use about 15 mins on the timer.

nah

20 minutes, meaning each player gets 10 minutes. you can use 5 minutes on one move if you want, but then of course you only get 5 minutes for all the other moves together.

if your timer runs out before a checkmate or a draw, you lose.

it's just to keep things going and to avoid people leaving and expecting the other guy to wait.

10 minutes is more than enough time. i beat puff in 5.
