Andy SC Watch everybody's rating take a massive dip before this starts.

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne I can't see how to sign up?

Andy SC

Andy SC @Fi - Since Adam is not an owl license holder, he has to wait for Charlie to accept the tournament.

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne Thanks :-)

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Yep once it's accepted sign ups galore!

Andy SC

Andy SC @Adam - I think Sign-ups would only open on the 1st of April as that's the starting date you've set. However, I could be wrong.

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Aye maybe. Would just push tournament back if that's the case by a week or two

Tasneem Rana

Tasneem Rana Ooh sounds exciting!!

Dave Robjohns

Dave Robjohns They'll be open once it's approved until 8th April/turned off so hopefully plenty of time :)

Roger Peak

Roger Peak Great idea Adam. Looking forward to it

Elwin Carlos

Elwin Carlos Deffo want in! Posting mostly so that I don't forget to sign up :)

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford On the offchance that this gets approved after april, or whenever, i'll push start dates back for the rounds etc!

Fiona T

Fiona T Sad this hasn't got going yet - might be worth an aptomail to Charlie - mebbe it got lost in a sea of notifications...

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford dropped a message - hopefully soon!

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Have asked to move it back to May so if it gets going it'll hopefully be then!

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Sign ups are open!!

Fiona T

Fiona T I like the idea of it being dynamic - so when you hit your rating of the moment you've won :)

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Would be a cool idea but first iteration of this will be the ratings as of when the tournament starts - seems less admin whilst I get to grip with tournament admin!

Fi Thorne

Fi Thorne Thanks for organising a tourney which gives the underdogs a chance :-)

Gerry Tynan

Gerry Tynan Is it Pro rank rating or normal rating? There's about a 500 point difference between mine so I'm voting for pro-rank.

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Going to be your normal rating for the first iteration of this. I think it makes the scope larger between the lowest rated player and the highest. Things can change in future editions though!

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Tournament going to start in May. I'll take all the ratings at some point on the 30th April and then those will be the ratings you will have to reach. Don't be a dick and artificially lower your rating ;-) Sign ups will remain open until I take those ratings. Good luck!

Tasneem Rana

Tasneem Rana I am happy to stay at my rating lol!

Andy SC

Andy SC Anybody fancy beating me in order to tank my rating? :)

Tasneem Rana

Tasneem Rana Isn't this what we have been advised not to do @Andy SC?!

Andy SC

Andy SC Yes, Tasneem. I was jesting.

Tourney round: Reach your rating: Round 1 - 9 rounder

Round 2 - gevins delight >>

Notes from the organizer: This is a tournament to reach your rating!

There will be a series of rounds covering many different variants throughout April with a game dropping every two days. Tournament will be awarded to whoever reaches the amount of cumulative points that their rating is at the start of the tournament. Therefore - the better your rating, the harder this will be.

Good luck!
