Hello everyone!

I am pleased to announce the first annual OT!Chess tournament, organized by Ashton. This tournament, on top of being an exciting opportunity for chess players and ot users alike, may serve as your chance to win osu!supporter! Please read through all of the information found in this post to find all of the details.

Prizes:
nothing lol

Tournament format:

-Each match will be played using Chess.com, either the app or computer website. It is free and easy to use.
-Each match will have a 60 minute time limit, meaning the match should take no longer than 2 hours.
-A ‘warm-up’ match is optional and must be agreed upon by both players. The warm-up match will have a decided length of up to 10 minutes.
-Elo rating will be turned on, unless both players agree for it to be turned off.
-If you do not show for your match time you may request a reschedule. Please notify me ahead of time. If you miss your match unexpectedly you will be automatically disqualified,
-Your teams colour will be randomly decided.
-Draws will be settled with 10 minute games, until a player wins.

Schedule:

In exactly one week from this original post date sign ups will close. From there, I will ask someone who is not participating to create match-ups (I will be joining as well!). Once you find out who you are playing against, you must contact them and agree on a time that you would like to play. The decided time should be anywhere from November 20th - November 27th. Though the sooner, the better.

How to sign-up. **IMPORTANT**

To sign up please reply to this thread with:

A) Your chess.com username.
B) Your honest skill level. (Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert).

Please be honest when saying your skill level. I want to pair people with similar skill levels so everyone gets at least one exciting game.

Good luck! Any suggestions or questions can be made here.

Q: So, you planning on setting this up? Any ideas on what happened on the other chess game in FG by another person? Probably died or what?

I don’t know about that. This is something entirely different. Maybe this is better suited for FG but I was hoping to get people from here. Maybe if we don’t have enough people I’ll move this there.

Thank you! You’ve been added.

To have a functional tournament it would be ideal to have at least 6 players, currently we have 2.

Added!

We need at least three more players. Remember, any skill level is allowed. I have been playing chess for only a week! ♟

Take the highest rated person then put them as first seed so they don't have to play first round

this thread is more important than blitzfrog having a stroke, so it deserves a bump.

i'll be trying to get info from people today, so it may still be a while until anything official will be announced just yet.

the tournament will likely take place around November 30th - December 3rd.

practice with each other to prepare if you'd like.

6 matches will take place.

i'll post final match-ups with times and dates when all is said and done.
keremaru
yes
abraker
so is ashton organizer or achro?
Achromalia
ashton came up with the idea, but he'd prefer things to be fair and offered for me to be the organizer, since he wanted to be able to play as well. i thought it'd be nice to accept.

...well, anyhow.

i've lost track of a significant amount of time. matches will take place soon, though.

in fact, i think i know what our first match will be.

Time to spam the forum while the chess game goes on. That way, abr won't be able to focus!

CHANGE OF PLANS!

so i'm pretty poorly cut out for hosting this tournament at the moment with everything, so i'll adapt with a lazier but simpler method!

i can't provide a time or date this time around, as we're having some... difficulties... with one of the contenders here, but i can announce who's up against who, so...

it'll be up to you two to sort out a time and date.
