Default FFRs 1st Ultimate Chess Tournament!!!


Welcome to Maggie and Jaes
ULTIMATE CHESS TOURNEY



This will be the first of (hopefully) many chess tourns to be hosted here on FFR.

Date:

TOURN STARTS VERY SOON!

Expect a PM in the next few hours
Tourn will start in 1-2 days


Venue:


www.chess.com

This will be the site primarily used unless the 2 participants decide on another way of playing.

Buy-ins:

Entry fee is 5k

(this is to deter inactive participants and 100% noobs, though noobs are more than welcome to enter)

Credits should be sent to
ULTIMATE CHESS TOURN
(this will be the credit holding account)



Rules:


Rules are fairly simple. Once the rounds games are set, there will be 3 days of which to organise and play said tourney. Extensions in later rounds will most likely be permitted due to the credit prizes at hand.

The cliché no cheating rule, etc. Please don't get your GM uncle to 'pop over' on the same night you happen to be playing every game, this will suck the fun out of this tournament.

If you cannot contact the person that you're playing, or they just won't respond. A decision will be made, most likely favouring the person who is making an effort posting in the thread, pm'ing myself or Maggie, or showing evidence of a no-show.


Structure & Prizes:


Prize structure will of course depend on the amount of participants, but with the 5k buy-in, expect the grand prize to be somewhat spectacular ~___~

The structure will be a basic bracket, leading toward a final showdown.
The matches will all be standard, but be prepared for the last few matches to be best of 3 bouts to ensure that the final winner is indeed, the current chess champion of FFR!!

(there may/may not be a battle for 3rd position too, depending on the amount of entrants)

Thread content:

This thread will serve as a place to talk about matches being played, (no slander please, be respectful). Sharing ss's of games, and of course sharing the results (which will need to be accompanied by a screenshot, with a timestamp)


Names will not be added to the sign-up list without a screenshot of your 5k transaction to
ULTIMATE CHESS TOURN
submitted in the thread with your post

Right before school. Yikes. I might be able to stay active long enough to play. Probably will since I want to see how I stack up against other FFR people in chess :P

Keep the change. ;D

It would be between you and your opponent to arrange a suitable time to play. Keep in mind that chess.com also has a gameplay option where you play move for move and it is sent via email/message.


Also guys, please post your chess.com username at some point ;D


Mine is Jae- Original and cutting-edge, i know xD

Could you make so there is some kind of division of skill? Like have people sign up fo a division theyd think best suits their skill cause the weaker players will be slaughtered.

Unfortunately Eeumi, without lengthy records on each player we have no way of determining skill levels. This will be something we could perhaps take into account for the next tournament. But there is still nothing stopping a great chess player from sandbagging a chess.com account to rape a division for their credits :c

^ This is why I wanted a club before a tournament. So we can see where everyone's at.

Anyway, the site is giving me so much shit about registering. 25+ minutes and I haven't gotten an activation e-mail. I saw a "Register with Facebook" option, but they really don't like it when you deuce.

Edit: Ooh, link the two so I can play through Facebook Chess. This might prove a superior alternative...but did I mistype my password the same way twice?

Edit 2: FINALLY got it to work. Facebook connect worked, but I needed to use my "standby" handle of qbsuperstar03 to get through.

The site we're using gives a 3 day time period to make a move. Jae and I will set a time limit for how long each round will last and we'll let all of you know.
