Hi All,

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I was gone most of the day.  It looks like 
Chris has explained correctly the basic plan.

Here are some details:

1. The tournament will begin on May 1, 2010 at 12:01 AM Pacific Daylight time.
2. After the tournament begins, you can challenge anyone one or two rungs above 
you by issuing a challenge that you send to the Tournament Controller.
3. If the player you challenged is already playing a challenge from someone 
else, your challenge is rejected by the Tournament Controller.  You can 
re-challenge once the current game is completed.
4. The Tournament Controller will notify the challenged player of a legitimate 
challenge or reject your challenge if the other player is already engaged.
5. The Tournament Controller will maintain a list of the current ladder 
indicating for each player any game in progress, any single pending challenge 
and the color for the next challenge issued by each player.
6. If the player you challenged is playing another game as a challenger, that 
player has up to three weeks to complete the current game before taking up your 
challenge.
7. If the challenged player does not take up a legitimate challenge within that 
three weeks, the game is forfeit.
8. Send game results to me for inclusion in ratings.
9. There will undoubtedly be problems and changes to the rules as we go along 
so don't be surprised.

If you see any conflicts or problems let me know now not next week.

Richard
