MU Chess Tournament Season 3

[Lumi]

Ladd is busy this time around and has handed off the organization of this to me!

Sign-ups close on Friday

Logistics:

- Seeded (to the best of my ability) 5-round Swiss tournament.

- 2 Games per round, one as white, one as black. A 1-1 split will count as a tie.

- Played on lichess (or chess.com if both players prefer). Players will have a week per round to set up a time to play their games, with 5 rounds taking 5 weeks, we will have the tournament wrapping up before people get busy with the winter holidays.

- 10+10 time control, longer time control since there are fewer games per round this time around.


Open to all skill levels! Swiss format means you're guaranteed to get to play all five rounds and will be playing against people that have as many wins as you do - so after the first two rounds newbies that lost their first two rounds will be playing against other newbies that also lost their first two rounds, etc.


There's no limit to the number of people that can join (ignore what modbot says)

I'll consider it, though I haven't played in a long time and wasn't very good in the first place.
