    Progression rules

    Group Stage

    Each person in each group will play the other members of their group, meaning you will play two matches. The player that wins the most matches will progress. In the event that all three players win 1 match each, re-matches will occur until 1 player has won both of his matches. It is not possible in a 3 man group for more than 1 player to win 2 matches.


    Elimination Stage

    Semi-Final 1: Winner Group A vs Winner Group B
    Semi-Final 2: Winner Group C vs Winner Group D

    Final: Winner Semi-Final 1 vs Winner Semi-final 2


    Rewards

    +10 rep if you complete both your Group Stage matches with a clean record
    +5 rep if you play your Semi-Final
    +5 rep if you play the Final
    Winner of the Final receives a medal

    This means everyone that plays their matches will get a small reward for participation in good faith, the Finalists will get an additional small reward, and the champion gets the coveted medal.

    Players can start organising their matches as of now. As mentioned, please let me know if someone is proving difficult or malicious and they can be disqualified automatically.

    Rules

    1. Players are obliged to play each other. If one player is being unduly difficult regarding arranging a time to play, the other player may submit this to Poach. If it is found the player is being difficult, he may be disqualified.
    2. There will be no timer for games, but players who are playing very slowly may be challenged. As with rule 1, disputes may be submitted to Poach and a decision on whether to disqualify the player acting slowly may be made.
    3. If a player disconnects during the game, his opponent may automatically win, but may offer a re-match if he pleases.

    These are a basic set of rules to stop people:

    1. Refusing to play.
    2. Taking so long to make moves that their opponent quits in frustration.
    3. Closes the game and pretends to have disconnected if they think they're losing.

    Above all, this will be the guide: If you think your opponent is trying to cheat or be malicious, report him. If I think so too, I'll disqualify him. People who show up and play their Chess fairly and honestly will always be welcome and there'll be no timers or pressure to force people to play at a certain speed as long as they're playing fair.

    Xerxes: The aqueduct. Reg: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah that's true.
    Activist 1: And the sanitation!
    Stan: Oh yes...sanitation, Reg you remember what the city used to be like.
    Reg: all right, that's two things that the Romans have done...

    Reg: Well yes obviously the roads goes without saying. But apart from...
    Activist 2, 3, 4, 5: Irrigation...Medicine...Education...and the wine...

    A progression system will be devised when the sign ups close at the end of today, at which point players will start playing against whoever they're matched against at times best suiting them: we don't need to go through all the matches in a day.

    So what kind of chess games?

    Timers? No timers? I am pretty slow myself.

    to throw this out at the beginning, I am in the Dominican Republic on vacation until 8/2. I dont know when I will be able to access the internet and communicating with me will be slow. If that is a problem than you can disqualify my from the tournament. I also don'ty know when I will have continued internet use. But kn next Saturday I can play my game within a day if my partner is willing

    Unfortunately due to the weird (14) number of people and you being away for nearly two weeks it makes most sense for us to drop two so we're down to 12, which allows us to do group stages. Therefore I'll withdraw and Themzr is away.

    12 players:

    Groups

    Group A:
    Legourou
    Mithridate
    Dr Mac

    Group B:
    f0ma
    MMFA
    Aspasia

    Group C:
    QHH
    Loose Cannon
    IZob

    Group D:
    Youngfool
    Aquila Praefortis
    The Black Knight

    Progression rules

    Group Stage

    Each person in each group will play the other members of their group, meaning you will play two matches. The player that wins the most matches will progress. In the event that all three players win 1 match each, re-matches will occur until 1 player has won both of his matches. It is not possible in a 3 man group for more than 1 player to win 2 matches.

    Elimination Stage

    Semi-Final 1: Winner Group A vs Winner Group B
    Semi-Final 2: Winner Group C vs Winner Group D

    Final: Winner Semi-Final 1 vs Winner Semi-final 2

    Rewards

    +10 rep if you complete both your Group Stage matches with a clean record
    +5 rep if you win your Semi-Final
    +5 rep and a medal if you win the Final

    This means everyone that plays their matches will get a small reward for participation in good faith, the Finalists will get an additional small reward, and the champion gets the coveted medal.
