Friends,

BBL-8 registration is now open! Same link as always: https://tinyurl.com/ze-bbl

As usual, we plan to recruit 36 players max. with the group seeding and tournament games open on September 26. If you would like to participate, please make sure to register quickly as all the last tournament’s seats had been filled within just three days!

Similarly to the previous tournaments, when you go to our website to sign up, you’ll need to check “I agree” box, confirming that you will follow BBL Rules and Code of Conduct, submit results within 24 hours, and begin all group games by October 1, 2021. You also agree to make every attempt to play fast and not cause any delays.

Please do take this pledge to heart and we will have a very smooth tournament!

Just a gentle reminder that players who had previously caused significant delays without any communication to the host, will not be admitted to play in the BBL tournaments.

I am really looking forward to playing in yet another fun and competitive tournament with you all!

Best

Friends,

The group seeding, based on the snapshot of participants’ rating as of September 26, has been completed and all games can now begin! As usual, we will have 36 players, so each of you will be guaranteed at least 17 games in the group tournament.

I wanted to welcome all 36 returning players to the BBL tournaments!

As always, I would like to reiterate that this is a blitz league and when you signed up, you agreed to play fast, abide by the rules and code of conduct, and timely report individual results on our BBL website! Please update your challenge criteria to ensure you can be challenged by your group opponents OR make sure you challenge them yourself first!

In order to see who your group opponents are, please go to the home page of the BBL website (https://tinyurl.com/ze-bbl - bookmark this page!) where you will find the link to the Results page. Everything is now set up on that page, including a ZE challenge link for each of your group opponents, created for your convenience. Simply click that link for each of your group opponent and your BBL-8 challenge will automatically open on ZE.

IMPORTANT: All of your 17 group games must be started by October 1 to avoid any delays!

The home page of the BBL website has also the result submission form where the winner of each individual game should fill in upon completion of the game in the following format:
Player A - Player B 1:0, Gammon (if applicable). Remember to submit your results with 24 hours of completion to avoid any delays.

As usual, I intend to update the results multiple times a day. In order to speed the pace up, please review the results page often and, if you are not seeing some of your results, please don’t hesitate to submit them even if lost a game. Your assistance here is greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to connect with me directly if you have any issues, questions or concerns

Best,

Friends,

Today is the official start of our tournament - the day when all games must at least be started!
We are doing pretty good so far, keeping the blitz pace as two thirds of the group games has been already completed and a couple of players are now done with all 17 games!

Please take a moment to recheck the results page on the website:

1) if you have any games that have not started - please make sure you start them now
2) if you see any missing results, please submit them on the website even if you lost a game - this will help us greatly to avoid any delays.

Connect with me if you have any questions or concerns
Good luck to all,
Leoton

Friends,

Today is the official start of BBL-9 - the day when all games must at least be started!

We are doing pretty good so far - almost two thirds of the group games has been already completed and at least three players are now done with all 17 games!

Please take a moment to recheck the results page on the website:

1) After a quick check I did notice that some players still have outstanding games to start. Please begin them today as it was agreed upon you signing up for the tournament.

2) If you see any missing results, please submit them on the website even if you lost a game - this will help us greatly to avoid any delays.

3) Speed up your games in progress to keep up with the blitz nature of the league!
