Imagine bracket tournament

[true condor]

Imagine

[hearty dove]

the only thing about this is that it will be each individuals responsibility to compete with their assigned player and report who won. if there are people seriously interested and active u can ping me here and ask to be added. once enough active ppl are added I can pair people accordingly.

[rotund schooner]

a lichess

tournament

that lasts up to like 3 hours

just get people together

and play chess duud

[hearty dove]

[twilit kestrel]

that would be oddly interesting

[supple rivet]

when is the next one i would be down for joining it

[hearty dove]

I tried pushing for it but time zones.
I think everyone is just gonna have to actively chat in here so we can try to set something up.

hmm how about

I will give yall a WEEK

If you want to participate in a chess tournament, do the thing, and I will set u guys up

if there is enough reactions we can have a little tournament for fun, see how it goes
just react if u want to participate. the rest will be discussed when we match everyone up to their first opponent (time, ranking, etc..)

[lilac kayak]

you should probably ping for this more often

[hollow moon]

anyways shhhhh

[true condor]

its aight they wouldn't know 🤭

but why you didn't have the "role" you're an adventurer too tho

[hollow moon]

the bookkeper kinda just stopped handing it out

[true condor]

Ah i see, i just read svrl previous msg. A lot getting sus abt it and asking around

Thx for the info 🙏

[proud thistle]

what rating are y'all

i used to be 1700+

but i stopped playing for some time

then when i came back i dropped to <1500 in like a week

and now im 1600+

I've heard the chess thing aint working out cause timezones. But couldn't you just hold a 24 hour tournament? I've seen those going in chess.com occationally.

[quiet imp]

In theory, yes.
Practically, those matches can take multiple weeks to end.

[proud thistle]

huh? i thought it was just 24 hrs?

[quiet imp]

Oh you mean it like that.
Well....if its night for me and day for you, its still one not playing.
It was just difficult to organise this whole thing.
I think some people played, but it wasnt big and that cool since many couldnt join in time wise

Some games were played i think, but that was it

[proud thistle]

well if its night for u and day for me, then when its night for me, it will be day for you. it will be fair. cause everyone will have a time when its day and they can play.

[quiet imp]

You have to wait for your opponent to move before you can move again

Do you mean you have 24 h per move?

[proud thistle]

wait, are we on the same page here xd? tournaments are when you play games with the people online and anyone can join anytime.

so u just get paired with someone else online in the tournament

and if u win, u get trophies

idk if u lose any if you lose a match

and then at the end fo the 24 hrs, the guy with the msot trophies wins the tournament

[quiet imp]

A tournament is a pool of players with ko or points system.
You just play the other players in the tournament

[proud thistle]

ye

its not a daily match between players.

you have to set a time control for the match tho i think

so u can only play either bullet, blitz, or rapid

[quiet imp]

Realisticly, we would have like 10-15 people max playing

[proud thistle]

ye but i think that would be ok if we have a low time control. like 3 min or something

then people would not have to wait for more than a min to get paired with someone else

[quiet imp]

We could try again, but last time was really a cold shower 😂

We do have a chess.com club, No idea though if you can do stuff like that with it

[proud thistle]

this is in chess.com as i say so over here

[proud thistle]

wait, how do i join this club xd?

[quiet imp]

Let me see

Well its called Discord Pianists United

12 members rn

[silk quarry]

I would love this even tho I suck at chess it’d help me get better

[proud thistle]

I don't think I've joined a chess club b4. Do u have to send an invite or something that I have to accept

[exotic dirge]

Working on a Revival btw

[exotic dirge]

lmaooo

[dense escarp]

and like announce it to everyone

[proud thistle]

i like chess

[hallow jasper]

im only a rating of like 300 at best now adays (i was once just over 2000)

[proud thistle]

2000?! That's really good

Idk if thts entirely true

Going from 2k to 300 aint possible, even if u haven't played for like 50yrs

[proud thistle]

Lol. 2000 is probably ~99.7% percentile. 300 ELO is like <20%

[hallow jasper]

yeah i know how i fell from chess grace

[exotic dirge]

might have to make a chess.com account

[hearty dove]

Alright boys, I'm gonna make an attempt at this..... Again 😂
If you guys really want another chess tournament in here, then go to the link below, do not create password or sign in, only write your username and time zone as shown in the screen shot, and highlight your availability.

https://www.when2meet.com/?30960844-X3jas

If enough people want to play, we'll give this another go!

[hearty dove]

its a general availability thing, you can change it as time goes, hopefully it wont take that long to set this up 😭

[exotic dirge]

[fierce osprey]

[tame peak]

aaaaa

this feels stressful even though it hasn't started or

Even looks like its gonna start

[hallow jasper]

if there is anything over a 600 elo im cooked

[hearty dove]

So far only 11 sign-ups and only 6 are available around the same time! chess tourny looking like it's gonna be more of a private gathering 😂

[primal wren]

put an announcement about it in the announcements channel, this suggestion thread is so old it’ll be near impossible for people to find it now

more people might sign up if it’s announced in an easier-to-see location

[hearty dove]

this isn't an official event. just wanted to get all the people that kept showing interest from this thread. if it happens more consistently maybe in the future it can be a whole thing.

if u knw anyone interested tho tell them to pull up in here and sign up!

get that word of mouth going 🔥

[primal wren]

it could turn into an official event, i think that was the intent when it was suggested originally

[hearty dove]

yea i hosted it before and only 4 ppl showed up LOL

gonna start small 😂

[primal wren]

i don’t ever remember an announcement about a chess torney in the past 😭

[hearty dove]

we made a whole channel for it

[true condor]

Noooo I don't check

I forgor

[wild shore]

The based bounty hunter appears no way??!?!
