I am interested in playing.
The veto period seems to have passed with a few smatterings, a flurry and in the end all games hold on and retain membership. The results of the cricket were 304 total runs scored, which converts to 214 duodecimals. As a result, we are going with scenario 3. In random scenario 3, alpha2 is match 1, alpha3 is match 2, alpha1 is match 3. Charles Birds (vs Donut), Stealth (vs Carlos), Titans (vs George) Carlos Falcon (vs Charles), Hole (vs George), Wormhole (vs. Donut) George Altair (vs Carlos), JacksWitches (vs Donut), Rococo(vs Charles) Donut Hammer (vs George), Korean (vs Charles), Rollerball (vs Carlos) Joe Atlantean (vs Juan), Grand (vs Graeme), Lemurian (vs Jeju) Graeme Circular (vs Joe), Modern Courier(vs Jeju), Save the Standard (vs Juan) Jeju Eight Stone (vs Graeme), Racing (vs Juan), Wuss II (vs Joe) Juan Bachelor (vs Jeju), Hostage (vs Joe), Switching (vs Graeme) Early analysis of the matchups finds a few interesting tidbits. Only Juan and Donut end up playing a game they cast a veto against. Donut on Jacks & Witches, Juan on Save the Standard 13x13. Joe, on the other hand, cast no vetoes but did allude to a few games he was not keen to play¡¦and drew one of them, Wuss II. Juan and Jeju are drawn in a rematch of a game completed with a Jeju resignation 320 days ago. If anyone has the talent and time to make the schedule into a chart of some sort, that¡¯d be appreciated. Carlos has offered to assign the games and get them started. Once he does that, game on. If you find any time goofs in the game settings, report them to Carlos and he should be able to restart the game. Unless there¡¯s a strong outcry against, I¡¯d say¡¦ (copied and pasted from 3rd courier tournament page, written by Fergus) Time Controls Game Courier has very versatile and sophisticated time controls, and these will be used to time all games in the tournament. Details on how time controls work can be found in the User's Guide. The same time controls will be used for each game. Here's what I propose to use: Pace: 4 moves per week Spare Time: 14 days Grace Time: 24 hours Extra Time: 8 hours Bonus Time: 6 hours for moving within 24 hours Tie-Breaking If two players attain the same score, ties will be broken by the following methods in a topdown order: ¡¤ Buchholz / Solkoff method (Compares scores of all opponents defeated by tied players.) ¡¤ Sonneborn-Berger (Compares scores of all opponents defeated or tied with tied players.) ¡¤ Number of Wins (Wins count as 1, ties as nothing.) ¡¤ Most Blacks (Whoever has won more games as the second player wins the tie.)
Carlos has indicated that all games will be assigned and started no later than the end of the coming weekend.
Thanks to the efforts of Carlos Carlos the tournament has started. Good luck to all.
Pot Luck 2008 round one is in the books...will try to get a schedule for round 2 up soon.
Standings after round 1: Charles 6 – 0 6 pts Graeme 5 – 0 – 1 5.5 pts Joe Joyce 4 – 1 -1 4.5 pts Carlos 3 – 3 - 0 3 pts George 2 wins – 4 losses 2 pts Jeju 1 – 5 – 0 1 pt Juan 1 – 5 – 0 1 pt Donut 1 - 5 - 0 1 pt New groupings: Winners’ Pot Charles Graeme Joe Carlos Consolation (Losers’) Pot: George 2 pts Jeju 1 pt Juan 1 pt Donut 1 pt
Based on rankings current as of the start of the tournament, each group
looks like this:
Top group, playing for the PotLuck2008 Title!
Charles Birds (vs Graeme) Stealth (vs Joe ), Titans (vs Carlos)
Joe Atlantean (vs Charles), Grand (vs Carlos), Lemurian (vs Graeme)
Carlos Falcon (vs Joe), Hole (vs Graeme), Wormhole (vs. Charles)

Second Tier, playing for pride and a can of corn*.
George Altair (vs Juan ),JacksWitches (vs Jeju),Rococo(vsDonut)
Jeju Eight Stone (vs George ),Racing (vs Donut), Wuss II (vs Juan)
Donut Hammer (vs Jeju), Korean (vs Juan), Rollerball (vs George)
Juan Bachelor (vs Donut), Hostage (vs George),Switching (vs Jeju)
*In order to receive the prize, one must appear in person at a designated
location, which shall be so designated at the completion of this
tournament.
If anyone has the talent and time to make this part of the schedule (round
two, not the can of corn collection part) into a chart of some sort, as
Graeme so ably did last time, that would be appreciated.
Carlos will offer to assign the games and get them started when he has
time. Once he does that, game on. If you find any time goofs in the game
settings, report them to Carlos and he should be able to restart the game.

Time Controls
Game Courier has very versatile and sophisticated time controls, and
these
will be used to time all games in the tournament. Details on how time
controls work can be found in the User's Guide. The same time controls
will be used for each game. Here's what I propose to use:
Pace: 4 moves per week
Spare Time: 14 days
Grace Time: 24 hours
Extra Time: 8 hours
Bonus Time: 6 hours for moving within 24 hours
Tie-Breaking
If two players attain the same score, ties will be broken by the
following
methods in a topdown order:
Buchholz / Solkoff method (Compares scores of all opponents defeated by
tied players.)
Sonneborn-Berger (Compares scores of all opponents defeated or tied
with tied players.)
Number of Wins (Wins count as 1, ties as nothing.)
Most Blacks (Whoever has won more games as the second player wins the
tie.)
Good luck to all! Any problems found in any of the above, let me know.
Note to Rich: Based on how long round one took...can't imagine there's
any way we'll have this wrapped up in calendar year 2008...at least not
the top tier.No problem with substitutions...if anyone wants to, leave a comment before Carlos sets up games and the switch can be made. Graeme, thanks for making the chart.
Ice Hockey Chess. Chess variant based upon rules of (Ice) Hockey. (8x10, Cells: 68) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Tried to get into a game of Hammer Chess for the Pot Luck 1 tournament between jejujeju and donutdonut and got this: The roundfile /home/chessva/public_html/play/tournaments/pl1/2.php does not exist.
donutdonut had the same experience when trying to get into a PotLuck1 game of racing kings vs jejujeju. The roundfile /home/chessva/public_html/play/tournaments/pl1/2.php does not exist.
after working for at least one move in each game, now jeju vs donut games, when trying to move a piece, switch to a page that reads as follows.

Game Courier Tournament #4: An Introductory Semi-Potluck. A tournament to feature games good for introducing people to Chess variants.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I would enjoy playing in the tournament if space is still available. I'll propose Football Chess be included (but don't really expect it to be). Look forward to playing again.
For a tournament targeting beginners sure is a heavyweight line-up of participants! Can't find a description of or rules for Modern Carrera's Chess ... any help in finding those would be appreciated. Thanks, and hope everyone rings in the New Year in good health and spirits.
A move of a player consists of two parts: he first makes a normal move with one of his pieces (this probably is not obligatory), but no piece may move to a goal, i.e., to e1 or e9. (Pieces like rooks and queens however may move across it, e.g. from d1 to f1.) However, no captures are made, and check is disregarded. Then, after this move, the player may, if he can, have a piece kick the ball. Looking for clarification of rules, particularly last sentence. Is it legal for a player to move his piece to a square adjacent to the ball and NOT kick the ball? Thanks in advance.
