Few players may drop out as most don't read format and rules..i will contact them personally and will ask about their consent on TIME LIMIT.
1st march is the Kick off date so we have few days to recruite players..
If u guys want to start it earlier then i m OK..no one wants it to start it early more than me

I've been too busy to answer until now. Very hard to nominate players as I'm certain my most respected opponents are already included. Do we have a current list so I can see if any of my obvious opponents are not there yet. I notice across the forums suggestions of playing the different formats as in NG and AD. I can't see how this could be fair or work with different players having different preferences. Obviously someone could organise a AD tournament etc but I don't think you can let players choose their format in the one tournament. I may have misinterpreted a prior comment regarding this so disregard if I have it wrong.

I have noticed the odd comment about keeping within the rules of the Unofficial tournaments. I think this was set up more about how to deal with issues of sportsmanship and etiquette and we voted on the handling of issues. As far as rules for a tournament, who is eligible, the number of points, time limits etc I think the host should be able to choose these and tell everyone before the tournament and then others can choose to opt in or out. I don't think we need to vote or have a consensus of every finer detail.
The function of the unofficial tourneys has moved on from what was initially planned and is really open to all and any formats. Someone could decide to have a private group of 8 play a best of 21 round robin. The Website can simply be a common place to store these results.

It is a shame that some players eg Chwaqasahmed can not access the unofficial site.

Any final format/rules for this tourney can be sent to me in word and I'll put them in place. Results need to be a jpeg image of a points table ready to drop straight in.
Bonne Chance has perfected this.

While I am a lot busier this year with work and sports training etc I should still be able to keep things up to date if results are sent this way.

Cheers everyone

ps I'm still a big fan of the full round robin followed by knock-out as in T2 -T5

NG & AD discussion for general in any future tourneys...
AD also needs more time so it would be hard to cope in these kind of quick tourneys...If any1 hosts seperately i m also open for that,,,

I hv access to word press site and i don't think there is any other frequent visitor than me  

Format/Rules will be sent shortly to KK.

Results of this championship will be very simple to keep,U will get jpeg image.
And it seems u did not check previous posts so there is a confusion...this is not a streak of Champions tourney..


I mentioned particaularly that we will play in T6 as soon as some1 will host it...there is just 1 ACTIVE game at a time in this tourney so it will be much burden.
hope confusions hv been ended
