Hi all, this is the introductory post for the start of a new tournament this year, 2013 on gravon.
Here is the breakdown of the rules...
1. Settings-Games will be played ranking, publicly viewable, Clock Bronstein, 12 min/50 min/4 sec. (the middle one).
2.Grouping-The tournament will be broken into groups, based on 2013 ranking seeding: see list below (List will be the ranking of each player at the end of the sign up period, April 27, 2013). If you are not ranked (yet) your classic overall rating will be used. If you dont have a rating yet we will assume you have a 500 rating.
a. The objective will be for the groups to be broken down to have a quarterfinal round of 8 , semifinal round of 4, and finals of 2
b. group size will be determined based on how many players we have and how many can advance.
c.Groups will be equally depending on sign ups. Something like this for 16 players: similarly for 32 etc..
Group A 1, 16, 17, 32
Group B 2, 15, 18, 31
Group C 3, 14, 19, 30
Group D 4, 13, 20, 29
Group E 5, 12, 21, 28
Group F 6, 11, 22, 27
Group G 7, 10, 23, 26
Group H 8, 9, 24, 25
4.Scoring-The scoring for the groups is as follow:
6 points for win, 3 for draw and 1 for loss. Each matchup within a group will be 2 games.
From each group the top scorer will move on total points. However, if we have an odd number of groups for example, the next highest point totals will be added independent of group.
The next round will be best of 5 matchups, first to 3 points wins so it could be 2 wins 0 losses 2 ties, that is three points the person would move on.
5. Schedule-Time lengths for each group matchup best of 3, is one week. So the tournament should proceed with the following time table:
Week 1-3 Group Stages May 1-21
Final 8-6-4 1 week each per 5 matchups May 22-June 14
The Final will also be best of 5, but 3 wins must be achieved. so it could be more games. So first who wins 3 games is the winner!
Any questions Please let me know and Sign Up is Below...
6. Administrators- Zach21, Ruben87

Ok its necessary to play ranked in this tourney. When you have played I believe 20 games you can ask an admin to enable the ranking option. You have some time . |

I'm in. Unlike bob my holiday doesn't quite cover the entire time the tournament is in place for, but i am away first 2 weeks of May so will have to try and squeeze games in late on. I hope more people sign up though, is it worth sending chat messages to people cos not everyone checks the forums or even reads what's on the home page.... |

Hi Samuel, Nice to have you in! Indeed its good to spread the message people! I think the homepage helps a lot too. The more souls the more joy!
@ Zach: Maybe its good to put the date's and periods bold and in a seperated column so people catch it easily, its quite important when the tourney takes place. |

hi,
of course i am in.
and we should think/add some rules:
1. normally we do not add people to the list, if they have no ranking. (or the registration was shorter than 3 months ago) this is just because of double nicks.
2. the ranking should be from the all time ranking, because some doesnt have enough games in the 2013 ranking.
3. normally the first 2 of the group go into the knock out.
4. if players do not finish the tourney, we bann them for future tourneys.
5. if a player violates any gravon rule (e.g. playing with a double nick - or one player joins with 2 nick-names etc) during the tourney, he is out
of the tourney and gets a ranking banning for 6 months.
6. we will create a schedule threat for each group. all players have to post their playing time within this threat. all players should add their time
code, because we have players from all over the world)
7. what happends if a player doesnt answere to any schedule or if some pairings do not finish within the group stage?
or if a player only offers some strange playing time e.g. 3am wednsday, 4am thuesday
just my thoughts
greets
