ToO Chess Club

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Out of curiosity how long will each game be? 5, 10, 30?

That would be up to you and your opponent. It doesn’t have to be uniform across all individual matches.

how do you add friends?

Who am I? I'd rather not answer that question, the real question is, "Who are you?". Right now I am trying to think of something witty to put here.. I might not find anything, but that's fine. This block of text should be fine for a signature. Wait, are you still reading this? Why are you reading this? Stop. Seriously.
STOP.
This sentence is true.
The sentence above is false.

I dare you not to read this.
Hey! I said not to read this.
Maybe if I talk like this.
Wait, you still see me? *sighs* I give up.

Go to someone’s profile and there should be a button to send a friend request. Or if they already sent you one first, you should get a message with an option to accept.

Welcome to the first ToO Chess Club tournament!


♜♞♝♛♚♝♞♜
♟♟♟♟♟♟♟♟

♙♙♙♙♙♙♙♙
♖♘♗♕♔♗♘♖

This will be a 14 person bracket to determine the first ToO Chess Club champion.

As we become aware of everyone’s individual proficiency, we may develop a seeding system for future tournaments to make matchups more fair, skill level wise, but for now the competitors will be randomly matched.

The bracket was tricky to set up with this number of competitors, but I finally came up with something. It’s not completely fair, two people will be getting a free pass straight to round two, but it’s the only way I could make it work. If we ever get a seeding system this is where it would come into play, deciding who will get that free pass. Until then, it’s just all random.

You and your partner must be online at the same time to hold your match, obviously, but the whole tournament does not have to take place simultaneously. For each round, just find a time you and your opponent can conduct your own match and report the outcome here. Once all matches in a round have been played, the tournament will advance.

When you’re starting your match post an announcement here so if anyone else is online they can log on and observe.

This will be a lot of fun, let’s get started! :)

Here is the bracket:

Round 1:
Astronomer vs. Lee
ric vs. ~JCGJ~
Jehoshaphat vs. Jesus' Princess
Stop Wooton' Around vs. American Eagle
AIOluver vs. Whitty Whit
bookworm vs. snubs
byes: Monty & Woody

Good luck everyone!

They get the round off. So they are automatically advanced. Think about a swiss system next tournament.
