Happy new year!!!
As some players of this tournament don't play usually MAN2 tournaments,
we will try to explain them how the time limit works.
When the game start each player has 7 days and 23 hours in his side. If the time ends you lose the game. When the opponent move, you have 23 hours before your time start to decrease.
For example, If you do your move 1 day and 4 hours after your opponent's move your time will decrease 5 hours (difference between 23 hours and 1 day, 4 hours), but you still have 23 hours without decrease after each opponent's move. These 23 hours are never lost.
We think important to clarify all doubts about the mechanics of the tournament.
List of players and pairing gamesThe January 9 registration period ends and we will publish here in the forum the list of players ordered by the glicko in the time of inscription (it will not be the real glicko).
That order will be used as reference for all the rounds, i.e., it will not change even though the real glicko is very different actually.
We will publish too
the pairing games of the round 1, for knowledge of the players. (training, watch replays of opponent, etc...)
During the afternoon or evening of Friday 10, games will be created.
Only a week!!!
