apterous tournament - Numbers Attack

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 6:13 pm

After the success of Ian's letters attack tournament, here's another one. Details:

* Games are to be 30-second Numbers Attacks.
* 5-round Swiss tournament, not knockout; every entrant is guaranteed 5 games.
* Entry closes at 23:00, Sunday 27 September 2009. Post in this thread to register. Entry is open to everyone.
* Each round of the tournament lasts one week, from 23:59 on Sunday to 23:00 the next Sunday.
* Pairings for the next round will appear sometime between these times, and will be posted in this thread. If a round is completed before the deadline (hopefully it will be), I may post the pairings early, but you will still have until the next Sunday to complete your game.
* Strictly no extensions. Any games unplayed by the deadline will be adjudicated at my discretion. If your opponent has repeatedly no-showed or is incommunicado, please email me to this effect, and I will take this into consideration.
* Please post the result of each game in here, including your name, your opponent's name, the score and a link to the game log on apterous.
* Addition: Due to the unexpected popularity of the event, play will be divided into two divisions. Seedings and divisions will be based on ratings as at 00:45 on 22 September, so there's no tactical incentive to increase/decrease your rating before entering. Hopefully this will encourage players of all abilities to take part.

C4C members I've rumoured to have penetrated: quite a few.
C4C members I've actually penetrated: none.

Michael Wallace · Post by **Michael Wallace** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:47 pm

How do those stats work out if it's you being penetrated?

Innis Carson · Post by **Innis Carson** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:50 pm

I'm terrible at these but I'll have a go.

Good point. I'm such a sexofascist. Nevertheless, if you open up the stats to account for both directions of penetration, they still remain the same.

Top, middle or bottom?

Oh no, wrong show.

That gives a whole new meaning to the term 'hot spot'.

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 9:26 am

Wow, can't believe the response to this, 31 entrants in 31 hours. Good to see enthusiasm from players on from every point on the rankings. In the light of this, please note the above addition to the tournament structure: there will now be 2 divisions (or maybe more at this rate), partitioned by rating. More details nearer the time.

J.Levison · Post by **J.Levison** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 10:23 am

I don't think Charlie added Supee when he added Phil Collinge above.

I have an appliance that might have some impact on your stats.

Gavin Chipper · Post by **Gavin Chipper** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 5:07 pm

Acutally I think I'll enter this. I'm committing myself to just one game a week though right? I'm away Mon-Fri next week but that's still alright isn't it?
