Double Round Robin user tournaments by rating begins Nov. 1

Three New Four in a Row tournaments are now open for registration. Tournaments begin Nov. 1

Red statistically does much better than yellow, so each event will be a double round robin, each player gets one red and one yellow against each opponent. Have fun!

go to the user tournaments page to register or click on a link below to go directly to the tournament registration page:

tournament for players rated over 2000

tournament for players rated 1700-1999

tournament for players rated under 1700

only a couple of days left to register. As of today, there are 34 players in all three tournaments. (the over 2000 event is the smallest with only 4 players at the moment). Good luck!

May I sign RoRoRo up for the group?

(And no, this is not being confrontational, I wish RoRoRo to fit in with the local preferences about bot participation in each of the disciplines, a 'no' is fine.)

Thinking about it, as I'm not going to teach RoRoRo how to parse the UT list, I might just have it message controlled such that he signs up if the organiser of the tournament messages him, in which case he automatically satisfies the whims of the organiser.

yes, you may enter roro

I just send RoRoRo a message ``join ut 80'' and he responded with a message:

I just signed up here

extra= _MASTER OVERRIDE!!!!_

So I think that means he'll be taking part. In theory he should also have sent you a message too, explaining why someone else has signed him up for your tournament.

yes, I received the message. good luck to you and your bot.

Last chance to enter! Tournament begins tomorrow. I sent several personal invites to players over 2000 because the #s were low, and this approach generated several new entries in the top section, so it should be a great tournament. Currently, there are 9 in the top section, 12 in the middle section and 22 in the lower section. Good luck to all, and Have Fun !

Oh gawd, he's never parsed a UT game page before - he thought that games in 'ut.fir.80.1.3' were games of 'ut', rather than games of 'fir', and was refusing to play them as he didn't know how! I had a beer festival and a late night out last night, the last thing I wanted to do was bugfix when I got up this morning. Anyway, I've slapped some sense into him, and he appears to be coping.

Here's to some hopefully interesting games in all divisions!
