wank Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 many boards = less random = good 25+ forum posting requirement = known players = abuse dispensed for running = no runners = no problem having a proper length tournie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'd like to play, but I've got a team for a local Sectional that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'd like to play, but I've got a team for a local Sectional that day. No problem... all you have to do is motivate as many other people as possible to play. ;) If the event is a success a repeat is certainly possible. If only 3 pairs show up, not so much...

mgoetze Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 OK, I've created the tournament. 10x2 boards swiss format. Of course I have noted that the other formats are also popular and, if this event proves a success, will definitely consider running with 3-board rounds or without swiss. But first, let's see how the turnout is on this one. ;) If you want to be added to the list of players allowed to register, either post here, or drop me a note on BBO. Please try to do this in advance as I don't want to be swamped by requests in the last minutes leading up to the tournament. Apparently you can already register with the Windows client, but not with the new Flash Client. But maybe I'm missing something. Anyway the tournament is #6388 BBF Matchpoint Pairs.

mgoetze Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 AFAIK both players need to be on the list, so be sure to send me the name of your partner as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antrax Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 That sounds like fun, but partner isn't a BBF poster. I wonder if I can get him to post 25 times until Feb. 26 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I can get him to post 25 times until Feb. 26 :) I think you misunderstood. The criterium is combined post count. So, for example, if Joe Grue wants to play with Justin Lall, that is just fine, because Justin alone has enough posts to make the two of them eligible. If Joe Grue wants to play with Curtis Cheek, one of them better start posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web version users cannot register earlier than 2 hours before tourney starts. Even if you don't want to be swamped with last-minute requests, you should be online as soon as the tourney is posted on web version and prepared to add people to the custom list :) Nice initiative, thank you.

inquiry Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I hope you are all busy looking for partners? I haven't gotten very many requests to play yet... Sounds like this would be fun. We have tried a few of these in the past. I would surely play, but... I will be playing in the Sarasota Florida regional on that Sunday.
