Subject: Who wants to be in and who knows other fast players?

Let me know so I can send invitations. Yes, I made it invite only so we really have a fast tournament. Also want to know about any new promising talents playing fast.

Chaos: I am fairly new, not sure if I have any talent or promising in any respect, but I do play quite fast

would you also invite Nuno Miguel? He is at the top of our rating, but never joins League Events!

SL-Mark: Given the fact you're so new and have little faith in your talent I thought I'd give the tournament a modest size, but ok, if you insist I'll give you more competitors to improve your strength


I've deleted the old draft and created a new one, hope I didn't make any mistakes there. Do sign up (again)!

♦ Dalmatiner (we currently have match, time per move is 5 days :(. it's up to you to invite him or not

Chaos 
Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?
Mikong: if he only plays 1 move per 5 days he'll time out straight away since the time limit is 1 day 6 hrs. I can ask him if he thinks he can play this fast before inviting him.

Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?
Chaos: I believe many here can play fast. It is not that they choose not too (though some I'm not sure), it is just that they have 100+ games and move in games at the top of the list.

Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?
SL-Mark: having 100+ games is a choice... If they think they can keep up with this tournament they can enter - do give me suggestions!

Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?
Chaos: Only that this tournament will be at the top of the list more frequently! I would have made this an open tournament, the time control would weed out the slow movers quickly. It must be a hassle sending out all those invites, but I would invite all the usual suspects :) Put a post in the tournament board advertising the tournament and calling on people to contact you if they want to join.

Modified by SL-Mark (8. October 2010, 11:35:37)
Chaos: Also be mindful of the fact, that with weekends set, two slow players can result in only two full moves per week!
We know that asking people to move fast is pointless (Nothingness tourny demonstrates that).

An alternative permutation would be fisher clock with setting 28hours/14hours/2days which would squeeze out a few more moves from the slow players.

Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?

SL-Mark: I'll make a post oin the tournamentboard, good idea. It's not really such extra hassle to send out invites since you have to send out messages to get players in anyway. You're right though; slow players will time out in the first round.


I can't change the set up of the tournament anymore- only starting date and info.

Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?
SL-Mark: You are right. I am quite slow player, sometimes quite a lot concerning to SL standards and I have "only" about 300 games. Simply its not comfortable to seek for some special game. Fischers clock games appears themselfs rather soon and for huge majority of BK members its not problem to play near every day if they must:)

Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?
lukulus: Quite, if you have a long list of games, I would imagine it to be quite onerous to look out for certain games. And having so many games almost forces you to play every day... shorter time control will simply mean that the game is at the top of your list more often.
Didn't understand your point on fisher clock. Is this form of time control a problem to many?
Hope you join in too :)

Subject: Re: re: who knows other fast players?
SL-Mark: I meant people can play fast, if they are forced to. But some players do not understand how fisher clock works until they forfeit. But its not about slow moving:) Personally I like fischer clock. I realized, if I am playing espionage games faster, I am playing them better:)

I am in.

Thank you for the invite. I could pay for a short membership, but I just realized this tournament has a very short time limit. I can't join if time limit is less than 3 days.

Subject: Re: Who wants to be in and who knows other fast players?
dAGGER: you do have the weekend days (you can choose 2 days for that). If you play at least once on the other days it's good.
