Hi, Richard.

Count me in.

Will this be a speed tournament? i.e? a minimum of 1 move per day.
What do you think about each round using a specific opening, so each game will 
have a jump start?

Thanks,
Mike

  Hi All,

  I would like to know if there is any interest among blind-chess members in an 
additional tournament.  A brief outline of my proposed tournament follows.

  The tournament will be a Quad format, that is groups of four players in a 
double round robin tournament.  You play two games with each of the other three 
players in your division or six games total.

  The tournament will begin October 1 with games scheduled to begin on the 
first of each month so you only have one additional game a month.

  Tournament divisions will be grouped by player rating as of September 15.  
Division ties will be settled either by play-off or tie break rules as decided 
by the players.  Division winners will have exclusive bragging rights until the 
next tournament.

  If you would like to play in such a tournament, please let me know.  If you 
have other ideas or suggestions, please post them to the list for discussion.

  Richard
