helene_t Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I would like to run an indy for forum regulars Saturday next week. I suggest 17h00 British Daylight Saving time. That will be 9h00 in Los Angeles, and 21h30 in New Delhi. 23h00 in Laos. Midnight is Singapore. (+)02h00 in Sydney and (+)04h00 in New Zealand. Random hands, 16 boards, 8 rounds. Clocked 12 minutes per round (last time it was unclocked, as a result the tournament got largely divided into a fast segment and a slow one). Restricted to people with 100+ forum posts but forum newbies who would like to join the "community" will be added on request. The restriction will be lifted as the tourney begins to get it easier to get subs. I hope to be able to play myself but if that causes too much chaos I will sub myself out. Any comments/suggestion/questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Any chance it could be moved up an hour? (Earlier, that is). That's 12PM local for me, and our session starts at 1PM, and I would like to do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 OK, then the Californians will have to get up at 8 but OTOH the Australians will need a little less caffeine. Maybe a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zasanya Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I am in.I confess it will be my first indy.Would it be a good idea if all play the same system and same conventions and same signals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we all play modified expert standard <_< No, seriously, I think we will agree on a solution to the credit crisis sooner than we will agree on a common system.

helene_t Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah, it doesn't work. Maybe it's because I saved the list as a unix text file. I will try monday when I have access to a windows pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Don't forget that there was a problem last time with having double !'s name in the middle of the list, but it was solved by putting him last, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Also, has anyone decided on how many boards? And is it going to be timed? I'm one of the Californians, but strangely enough, moving it earlier makes it more possible for me to play, but I'm not sure. I doubt Adam's going to be playing, but we'll see.

barmar Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Does BBO Flash have a limit on how far ahead it looks for tournaments? I don't see this in the pending tournaments list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dodgy Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'll be there :blink:! Note that my BBO ID is "MrDodgy" (no period or space), but I'm sure Helene is well aware of that (can't try registering now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I had to use CrossOver to do it, since BBO Flash only shows tournaments in the next 2 hours, but I'm signed up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I corrected your name, Justin (MrDodgy). Also Rona, DrTodd and Foobar. Please could everyone else who uses a different name on bbo than bbf tell me? NZ changed to daylight saving time, so it will be 8h00 Los Angeles, 11h00 New York, 16h00 London, 17h00 Paris, 18h00 Bucharest, 20h30 New Delhi, 22h00 Laos, 23h00 Singapore. (+)01h00 Sydney and (+)04h00 Auckland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
