kitty Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hello fellow chess-players! This thread marks the return of OCRCL. The tournament will run from October 1-31. Register by posting in here. Format of the Tournament Round robin in groups of 4 or 5, depending on the number of participants. Format of the Matches We will use standard Yahoo! Chess (other suggestions are welcome). Players can talk about which room to use. In the past we have traditionally used Advanced -> Advanced Lounge 6 or 7. Rules: 15 minute timers with 10 seconds added per move. PLAY EACH OPPONENT TWICE PER MATCH. Once as White and another as Black. Advancement A win = 2 points, tie = 1 point, loss = 0 points. The top two players from each pool will be placed in a single/double (depends on # again) elimination bracket. Report Both players in a match need to report the results of the match in this thread. Standings I will try to update a graphic table as often as possible to display the current standings. That table will always be in this post but I will also post it at the end of the thread as well.

Olarin Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Personally I prefer Free Internet Chess Server (http://www.freechess.org/). But either way, I'm in. Players will just schedule games amongst themselves I assume? (Makes more sense to me than trying to declare an official meeting time or something.)

kitty Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 (yay a response!) Yes, players will be expected to play matches by a certain deadline. If the match does not occur then one or both players will forfeit and receive 0 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 If we don't get at least 4 players then we'll have to cancel the tournament. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyHunter Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I can play, as long as the chess client thing isn't super time-consuming to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olarin Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Yahoo Chess doesn't require any setup, it's just browser based. With my suggestion, you can pick from a number of clients, most of which are quite easy to set up, or they also have a web browser version you can use.

kitty Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 We can try out your suggestion this month if there aren't too many players, which right now looks likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horseboy Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 oh hey can I still join? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 @Horseboy: Yes. @Everyone: Sorry I've been MIA for two weeks. But between school and getting sick I haven't been able to get on for a while. I'll just type up a simple table for now until I find a few minutes to make that graphic. But we'll have round-robin for one and a half weeks and then a single elimination in the final week. Everyone play everyone else twice (once as white and once as black) on your the website of your choice. Report the results for each game in this thread. Generally we use AIM to setup match times as it's more efficient than PMing but you can do either or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
