Small change of plans
It just dawned on me that in a regular mini-tournament, you play each player twice regardless. That is what we will do too. We will count up wins, and whomever has the most will win the whole tournament. In the event of a tie, a best out of 3 game series will be determine the tie-breaker.
Had we had access to the software to do this for us, this is what it would look like.
A win constitutes 1 point, a draw constitutes 1/2 point.
Feel free to challenge whomever you want, whenever you want. Just be sure to play each player twice and to alternate between White and Black pieces.
Also be sure to post all wins in here so I can keep track.
For your convenience, these are players and their respective screen names:
1. Piltdownrook (Apothecus)
2. Hooah212002
3. Paradigm_Lost (Hyroglyphx)
4. Slevesque
5. Hydraulic_Organ (Caffeine)
6. Ceithearnach (Son Goku)
7. CosmicChimp
8. Omnivorous
9. Hotjer

Re: Small change of plans
Et voila. I accidentally made this smaller than intended, but it's already uploaded now. I can update this periodically (and make it bigger), so that we know where we stand.
It's beautiful! Nice work!
By the way, don't be offended if i refuse any of your challenges. I can just only take so many games at the same time!
Totally fine. This isn't a race. I like to play fast, but that's my own preference.
No one feel rushed, please. Only play as fast or accept as many games as you want to. That goes for everyone.... Just don't time out. 3 days should be sufficient. If you go away on holiday or otherwise won't have computer access, you can set more time. Just don't abuse it.

Re: Win for Hyro
Hey Hyro could you perhaps edit into post #1 a points table for all the players? We each play only 16 games, right?
Caffeine is handling the points table and, yes, 16 games.

Don't forget to report your wins, everyone, so I can keep track.

Outlasted Omni
*sigh*
Another win via time-out.
You guys have to stay on top of your games. 3-days per move is generous even with an extremely busy schedule. Even supposing you had a big business trip or a vacation, you have the ability to postpone games.
In other words, there's no excuse short of:
"I was in a coma, dickhead!"
"I was kidnapped and held hostage by Colombian mercinaries, asshole!"
Etc, etc....
