mrmarks 07-Jan-17, 18:49	how does the tourney work Is this a one and done type of tournament? There are 22 players, so how would that play out? Thanks!
goldentweety 07-Jan-17, 18:54	Reply to Mrmarks This will be a RATED 3 round swiss tournament with a time control of 3 days per move. Each round will also have a time control of all moves in 2 months. Any games still ongoing after the two month period will be examined and adjudicated as a win, loss, or draw. This will prevent opponents in lost positions from dragging out the game and from opponents trying to win from drawn positions.The third round will not be adjudicated and will continue until a winner is declared So there are three games in total. You accumulate 1 point for a win, 1/2 point for a draw/ and 0 for a loss. After the three rounds, the person with the most points wins

the-jim 07-Jan-17, 19:26	Hi I made my first move I made my first move and my opponent hasn't bothered to make a move Its been almost 20 seconds If he is asleep how can I wake him up have you got his phone number!
goldentweety 07-Jan-17, 19:39	How the tournament is conducted In a swiss style tournament you will play three rounds against three different opponents. After round 1, all those who have won will have a score of 1.0; all those who have drawn will have a score of 1/2; all those who have lost will have a score of 0. The 1.0s are then paired against each other as are the 1/2s and the 0s After round 2 we will have scores of 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5 and 0 These are then paired off accordingly. It is possible to have a tie for first place. Your ranking in the tournament depends on how many points you score overall. The tournament is limited to 3 rounds because it could ultimately take up to 6 months. I hope this clears things up on Swiss style tournaments
