Moderator Ricer13 2,796 Posted February 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Welcome everyone! It is time to start our S76 entry of the VHL Chess Tournament.Everyone has been separated into four groups and they are as follows: Group A @Nykonax@ColeMrtz@Juice@Mr_Hatter@Zetterberg@thadthrasher@snackheroGroup B @Siddhus@Ricer13@RedSus @rory @TheCHEESE@TacticalHammer@N0HBDYGroup C @bigAL@hedgehog337@Caboose30@jhatty8@MattyIce@Matt_O@IHateBobNuttingGroup D @Vat@Ledge_and_Dairy @TXC@Hoopydog@GrittyIsKing09@inflastud @LilHCorny Tournament Rules: 1. All games will be played on chess.com or the chess.com app. Forum only users please post your username below for group members to add you. Anyone who uses discord there will be a channel to display usernames in the server. 2. Games will EITHER be 10 minute Rapid Game, 30 minute or a 24 hour daily. This worked well last season and allows the ability for our international players to be able to participate. The 24 hour games go on the honor system. If you commit to this mode please make sure to take your turn. Same as last season, you should play "unranked games" and decide prior to the start of your game whether or not "takebacks" will be allowed. 3. Each group will play in a round robin which will lead into the playoff rounds. 4. Each player in each group will play each other 2 times. (You can play as many exhibition ones as you'd like.) Please limit it to one game per group member per day. 5. Standings will be determined on a point system. A win is 1 points, a draw .5 and a loss is 0. 6. Playoff Format is as follows: The top 3 teams of each group move into the playoffs. Top seed gets a bye through the first round. Group A 2nd vs. Group B 3rd and Group B 2nd vs Group A 3rd. I will have an actual bracket made once playoffs start. It will be single elimination until we have crowned a champion. 7. Be a good sport, be respectful to one another and have fun! Loose Ends: -Once you have completed a game you will post the results in the discord servers results channel. For forum only users please post your results below. -I will tally up all the results and post the final standings at the end of the round robin. Discord Server Here is the link to join the server: https://discord.gg/Mqds6Ztw -Feel free to ping, stream and shit talk in our discord server. Hell you can even shit talk in this thread. -Feel free to play non tourney games as this server is our chess club server not an official tourney server. -Be mindful of those who do not use discord. It may be best to play dailies with them.

bigAL 2,176 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Def should've brought this up earlier, but can we have the option to play 30 mins too? I've just gotten into them and find that it just gives you some extra breathing time and reduces stupid mistakes. Most games I've played use only like 12-15 mins, and that little bit more than 10 makes life so much easier.
