How does the Endless Endgame Event work, and how do regular tournaments work, in terms of scheduling? If just scheduling one game is challenging, the ideal would be to schedule all 4-6 games in one shot. Do we have automation to support that?

Clyring puts together pairings for the EEE every couple of weeks or so. The participants then communicate with their opponents to schedule the games. I like working this way because it's simple.
I think an automated system is best for things like the World Championship where it is absolutely vital that the games be scheduled within a one week period and therefore some sacrifices in playing time might have to be made on the part of participants. For something informal like this, I would prefer that the scheduling remain informal as well, even if that means it takes a month for a pair of players to finish up their series. I think giving people more choice in scheduling and not rushing them through their games will result in better quality games and better learning experiences for everyone.

I totally agree. It seems like the most important thing is to keep the scheduling reasonably decentralized.

The only question holding things up now is whether or not the pairing should be centralized. Would people post a request for someone to play a series with them when they want to work on an opening, and would people respond to the requests of others?
If enough people are up for that sort of thing, I think we could be ready to just run with it and make adjustments as we go.

OOE isn't enough alliteration for you?

I would like to play two series.
The first using supersamu's series outline:
1st game: A(99of9) vs B(Setup_B)
2nd game: B(99of9) vs A(Setup_B)
3rd game: B(99of9) vs A(Setup_A)
4th game: A(99of9) vs B(Setup_A)
And the second using an EHH variation of the same:
1st game: A(EHH) vs B(Setup_B)
2nd game: B(EHH) vs A(Setup_B)
3rd game: B(EHH) vs A(Setup_A)
4th game: A(EHH) vs B(Setup_A)
Is anybody interested in playing one or both of those series with me?
