Hi Chris, Do we send a private e-mail to the person we challenge and a cc to the time controller? Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris C.

Since you are seated at #3, then you could challenge #2 or #1. Question2: Where do you send your challenge? You send your challenge to the time controller, which I believe is going to be Richard. Hope this helps.

Or is it 4 or 5? Do I send my challenge to you? Or do I send it to the opponent and you? Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: R Dinger To: chess Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 11:15 AM Subject: [blind-chess] Ladder Tournament Plan and Seeding as of Monday Good Morning Chessers, Based on your comments, I think the consensus is as follows for our ladder tournament: 1. Games will not be published on the list. 2. The initial ladder seeding will be in reverse rating order. 3. Anyone joining after Wednesday (April 28) is seeded at the current bottom. 4. You may leave the tournament at any time and reenter later at the bottom. 5. I will post official rules regarding tournament details prior to the official start on May 1, 2010. 6. All ladder tournament games will be rated as tournament games. Below is my initial reverse seeding of all those I think want to participate in the tournament. If I missed anyone, let me know. If anyone is uncomfortable with their ladder position, let me know and I will remove you from this initial seeding and insert you at the bottom on May 1 when the tournament officially begins. Richard ------- Rank Name (color for next challenge) 1 Shane Wegner (W) 2 Allen Maynard (W) 3 Carol Harvester (W) 4 Alvin Blazik (W) 5 Lewis Wallach (W) 6 Jim Homme (W) 7 Mike Gieschen (W) 8 Hugh Pharis (W) 9 Connie Torrisi (W) 10 Chris Chaffin (W) 11 Randy Kruzeniski (W) 12 Michael Allain (W) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
