Default Chess Tournament Info

Registered Players:
Lacrosse_Freak
EvilBang
Jarlaxle
Ketz
Psycho
silent
Lanilion

Here is how the rounds will go.
*Every round, 1 entrant will have a bye round.
*Each contestant will face another contestant each round except for the one who gets the lucky bye.
*Total wins/loses will be recorded until rounds are over.
*At the end of normal rounds, the finals will begin. In the finals, the 2 players with the most wins will face off in a best-of-three game series (draws uncounted), with the winner proclaimed the Narmir Chess Champion.
*Normal rounds will end when every contestant has faced every other contestant.

Ranking
In the event of a tie for ranking placement, the game played between the two contestants who have tied will be the tie breaker. For instance, if Jarlaxle and Ketz both had 5-1 records, the game they played against each other will be used to decide which one is higher ranked (if Ketz had beaten Jarlaxle, he would rank above him.)

Otherwise, ranking will be done simply by how many games you have won minus half the total of games you have lost. The reason for getting half a point taken off for losses is so that someone who has won 5 games and lost 1 will not tie a person who has won 5 games and had 1 draw (4.5 points vs 5).

Time Limits
Each round will last one week. If all games are completed before a week is up, the round can be advanced upon contestant approvals.

**I have not determined how to deal with games that have not been completed at the end of the week, so suggestions are welcome.

***Also, if a single week is not long enough, or too long, let me know, and I will attempt to compromise until an agreeable timeframe has been reached.

Champion's Prize
For the person emerging victorious from the tournament, PureDamnEvil has graciously agreed to add him or her to an elite Narmir Chess Champions group. Every post you make after the tournament will go towards glorifying your chess prowess, proudly declaring you as the premier chess player in all of Narmir!

In Closing
If I have left anything out, let me know, and I will attempt to rectify the situation.

If you have any comments or concerns, you may post in this thread or send me a private message to the name on this post (EvilBang), or e-mail me at bangbang@narmir.com .

Also, if there is a problem with me being in the tournament for anyone, I will withdraw. You'll need a valid reason for me to withdraw, of which "I don't think I can beat you" is not a part of. However, "I don't think it would be fair" would be a valid reason.

Once all contestants are satisfied with the rules (within reason), the tournament will commence on whatever day is best for the majority of the players.

Sorry, I must have missed it... Guess that's just more proof that I'm a scatter-brained ogre.

Hopefully you beat me, then you will be cool with being left out until now =P
