Is there any way you can set a solid date so I can be sure to check back then? It's a bit tedious to check back here every time I get a topic reply notification email (which will undoubtedly be sent quite often at this rate).

I'm wondering ow long will each match be allowed to take? You're looking at well over 100 players now, so it seems like it will take forever to finish the tourney if some games take a while…

Also, what is the purpose of knowing each entrant's rank and league? I noticed that you are writing it down in the list. If the match-ups are random, then it doesn't seem like it matters here.

Lastly, if you need an extra hand with organizing this massive undertaking, holler at me. I'm happy to help make something like this successful.

Thanks for what you're doing here, regardless.

All info will be posted here in this thread. When registration closes (probably in about a week or so) I will make the conferences/groups randomly. I will post them here and will post the first matchups then too.

1. I am going to post the groupings and the first matchups this weekend. Then I'd like to give everyone a couple dad to come on and see their matchups. I am aiming for the start date to being the 14th or 15th possibly.

2. I see your concern in this poit and I do think this tournament will take a little bit. The only reason I'm hesitant is you can't have a replay link for an ongoing game. What I was thinking is you have 4 days to complete your games. I think this is a reasonable amount of time. If your game is not over, whoever has more base points left wins. If no one replies about the base points or replay link or if both players have the same amount of base points, then the game will be a tie. The only thing I'm worried about is if the opponent is inactive it would be punishing the better player. If the opponent never made a move, I suppose I could give the win to the other player though. Tell me what you think about this.

3. Knowing the league and ranking was just for a little fun so you know who you're up against.
