New User Tourney for 7-12k!

Sign up now, peeps! Because you know the MCs and recent Championship just aren't enough Go!

my rating is almost twice too bad...

in 9x9 you haven't ended a single game...

yes, and my rank is 22,8

I wouldn't expect anything different, given your ca.100 games lost by time.

Thanks Aganju for creating, and thanks pfapfap for the ad.

Championship reaching mid-game, Tour won't start Go19 for quite a while -> this is very good timing.

(And a good ranking range, for me)

BTW: will it be handicapped ?

(Am I too blind to see that ?)

2 games one as white, one as black --> no handicap.

(That could have been clear)

Not sure if one can select "handicap games:yes/no" at all, when creating a UT.

Tournament has started: Good luck to all !

Yay - I've got the first moves :) Good luck all...

All from the top end of the rating interval. I'm low-ranked by a fair margin.

Heck, my rating fluctuates 4 points on a regular basis.

question to the participants of the tournament (and everyone else):

Should I do such a tournament again? Probably yes, so

how often, how much time before it starts? what parameters/limits should I set?

what do you think? give me some input, please!

I'm also willing to setup other go tournaments (different level ranges or so)?

I like it all! I dig having two games against each person. And the strength range is good, since I think most of us in that range tend to fluctuate within in. The stronger players get to the 5s.

Yes, this is very nice. It kind of reminds me of the rating tournaments that used to be here, and I used to play in those.

I like playing against opponents of roughly the same rating as I; the monthly tourneys I don't like since that tends to end up in high-handicap games, and while those present a challenge in themselves, they also tend to promote destructive play. In an even game (or low hadicap) the game seems more constructive.
