HA's SPEEDTourneys-Classic 1v1(Canceled)

[HighlanderAttack]

Canceled



Sorry but this will not happen--I am at 13 players and I need to get it full before asking for privis--sorry.

Maybe I will try again-but I don't want to solicit this more than the two pm's I sent out.

I will continue to do the 24 hour small tourneys but as for Speed I am giving up

Third round will be 1 game
The finals will be 2 of 3

To sign up, just post to this thread

For this tournament premium players only

I will take reserves, but only for round 1 and I would like to have at least 8 reserves. One time speed tourneys have not went well on CC, but I am going to attempt to change that. It makes for a real fun time to play in a tourney for a few hours and have it completed on the same night. I will try this simple format first, but with enough interest it can easily grow.

When I send a pm you have 5-10 minutes to join your game or I will put a reserve into the game.

I ask that you play your games as fast as possible without rushing yourself. I will join my game last so that I make sure everyone is in their games, but I will communicate that with my opponent.


It will be a normal 16 team bracket non seeded. I will use random.org to set the match ups.
I will use reverse set up to make the match ups-1-8 will play 16-9. Basically each round will have the lowest number playing the highest number. I will just make this list, cut it in half and reverse the higher numbers. PM me if you have questions-these will be posted each round.

I hope this covers everything.

Feel free to ask questions.

Although plenty of views, very few sign ups--maybe a bad day or many players have not logged in yet. I was thinking that players would make their morning moves and join for the evening tourney. For now I have decided to have people plan to join a few days in advance. I have made this change--I will take 16 sign ups and 8 reserves to be safe.

THIS WILL BE A SPEED TOURNEY-ONLY SIGN UP IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE MONDAY 8PM-11PM 2/22/10 Eastern time zone.

Yep..

[heatz]

Sign me up please

I was 1/2 tempted to sign in for a midnight start in UK, but making it 1am is even worse.
Hope it goes well for you though.
Maybe if you try between 6pm-10pm GMT/UK time you could corner the UK audience. Just throwing you some ideas!

Thanks for the input

[Little Witt]

ill do it!

[josko.ri]

sounds interesting, and I would also play but I cant in that time. beginning of tourney is in 2 a.m. here, so it is too late for me. in CC the most players are from USA and Europe, so I think better would be to choose normal time for EU players also.

[elfish_lad]

I'm in. Cheers.

Most of Europe are within a couple of hours of each other, so josco has a valid point.
Far be it from me to tell you how to run things, but im sure if you was to start around 4-6 hours earlier then you would fill up a lot quicker.

The problem with six hours earlier is it puts it in the middle of the day for me. I am finding out through threads and pm's that this is a difficult thing to make happen due to all the time zones. Why can't the world just be flat.

[mrdexter]

In despite being in the UK. If therer are more europeans wanting in and this is well attended I will consider doing an earlier one for the europeans.

[Ninja Champion]

I'll be a reserve as I'm not sure if I'll be on or not

[sugc7]

count me in
