Thanks for volunteering to be the TD, Omar. Adanac and I already registered and Ice said he could play, so that makes three. The absolute minimum would be five players, in which case the Swiss almost turns into a round-robin. Will we get enough to play?

Omar, will your tournament accommodate late-joining players?

But 5 players would require 5 rounds due to each player receiving a bye. I think we should should have a 3-round swiss with 4 or 5 players and a 4-round swiss with 6+ players.
EDIT: Actually a 3-round 5-player swiss is less than ideal because someone with a 1-1 record is likely to get a bye (possibly to tie for 1st with a free point in the final round). We should just have a 3-round-robin for 4 players and a 5-round-robin for 5 players. In the latter case we'll have to speed up the schedule a bit: As soon as a game finishes, the player with the bye immediately begins his next game against one of the those 2 players.

Unfortunately, something came up for Saturday during the day... so I won't be able to make it.
Sorry but this wasn't scheduled before I agreed to go to a different event.
I'm a bit sad too, I was looking forward to this kind of tournament. Next time!

Yeah, we need to plan in advance, which is why I suggested November 14. But then Omar wanted to try out his new Tournament Director tools, and didn't want to wait until November 14. If we don't get enough players for October 31, no sweat, we can wait for November 14 anyway, in which case we are no worse off than before.

Well, I can't come on November 14, so more people please sign up for tomorrow!
One possibility, is that if there are no EU players who are going to sign up anyway, and if it is OK with all three of us already signed up, is to start the tournament a few hours later to accomodate PhilomathBret and any other players who would prefer a later time.
On the other hand, I would think PhilomathBret could consider waking up early, given how eager he seems for h v. h. games.

I'll be back for the November 14th tournament. Judging by the responses so far, that should be a big one!

Yes, let's not have one November 7, and instead target a bigger event on November 14. We have proof of concept, so now let's go for participation. Omar, could you open a new event registration page for November 14?

Congratulations Adanac!
It was great fun to participate in this tournament.
I am looking forward to join in again November 14th.
BTW: It seems to me, looking at his results, the 4th player made a bad choice for his player id

Ha ha! I will correct the original, but since I have been quoted, my shame lives eternally.

Thanks Omar.
A question about the start time: it's telling me that my local start time is 10:00. If so, that means that people on the west coast will need to wake up at 7:00. Maybe we should give them that extra hour of sleep and push back the start time?
I liked the scheduling of the first tournament with each round beginning 90 minutes after the start of the previous round.
