call if it starts after 16.5.

ASA BBJ updates the rating list

I assume that may16. Then no, we'll start in 1 or 2 more days.


Bobjoejim: update the rating list plz.

We are 16 so i think we can start. (i dont think will have 32 players).

Players can still register in case someone doesnt show up, so he can be replaced (or maybe to make a IV b tourney or something).

Update on its way. I actually already have it calculated, was just waiting for Tourney III to officially be in the books before I posted it

Give me a second to get my pasta on the stove, then I'll get it up.

pliz, tell us your nick in FICS

np, good luck everyone!

my fics handle = limozeen

I am in. 3 minute baby.

Fics Handle: lennske

So when are we starting this? Pairings ftw?

Its kind of difficult to please everybody. It was clear between 5 or 7 minutes, so lets make it 6min. About the increment: with. But lets take 1 sec, so its
6'1''. I was waiting for gingerterrorist's nick in FICS cause i thought maybe he and thegameterrorist were the same person. Ill assume no, and holla is first in waiting list.

In case of tied 2-2, u add 2 more games, as many times as needed.

PAIRINGS

I've got Nezh, Nikitheone, Hackdeath, and Smilingbill as my Final Four. Anything could happen in any of those matches, four very good playerrs, but I'll take Hackdeath > Nezh 3.0-1.0 in the final.

(Or were we not supposed to fill out the bracket?)

lol
mmmmm i dont know smilingbill, so i put allinmclovin instead.
(hey, i play with him, ill tell u later better.....).

I hope we have the very expected match niki-nezh.
Ill go nezh>niki and final: nezh>hackdeath 2.5-1.5 just to piss BBJ

FWIW, FICS blitz ratings of the field:
Smilingbill: 2141
Nikitheone: 2027
Hackdeath: 1969
All-inMcLovin: 1921
Nezh: 1844
DaMaGor: 1813
Montrealcorp: 1813
Tothedeath: 1678
Doncasti: 1671
Chessterfish: 1443
Hoyasaxa: 1308
Thegameterrorist: 1298
BobJoeJim: 1293
Cadaz: 1251
Lennske: 687
Gingerterrorist: ???

Lennske - DaMaGor 0:4

gingerterrorist must say soon if he's playing the tournament and his nick in FICS. If not, holla will replace him. Also, activate the option to allow/receive private messages.

These being KO matches, 2,5 or 3 points should do no? Nt1-Smilingbill for the final I think. I´´ll prepare extensively for the 4man Superbrawl, and I mean that lolz.

oh, right, we dont need tiebreaks, but u need to specify to not mess with BBJ's rating list.

BBJ: or is it always a problem? (In that case play the 4 games).

and i believe u, lol

No problem. The only reason to play all 4 games would be for tie-breaks, which obviously doesn't apply to this tourney. The ratings list is fine with whatever number of games you want to play (just make sure I know how many you played).

Nezh-Hoyasaxa 3-1

Nezh Nezh Nezh, tsk tsk good sir. I know you can bring it against the other top players on this site, but you'll never climb to the top of the 2+2 ratings list if you keep dropping games against people like me and Hoya

Yeah, some bad danglers left and right....have a good excuse though: too much wine. Not to take away from Hoya´s nice little combo (or cheapo as Larry Christiansen likes to call these) in g2 though, which I thought I had ´prevented´.

Or to take away from how badly I got crushed the other 3 games - definitely think my "win" was a bit of a swindle too and he resigned cuz i missed a move that won on the spot anway.

yours truly - DON CASTI 3-0

i changed my mind, smilingbill to the final
