graeme,

i did enter grayhawke... every time. i don't know why it changed it to
grayhawke2.

Carlos,

I've created a new ID graemecn and used it to post this message. Can you assign my tournament games to this new ID?

Cheers
Graeme

done!

joe, jeju, juan - please move in the new games.

i think all the first round games are up now, let me know if anything is
missing/wrong.

What is the URL for them being up?

Rich,
do you mean this match chart?
The game-names are linked to the rules and I'll be linking the game-results to the Courier Matches today

Carlos,
Thanks for re-assigning my games, all appears to be working now.

Carlos, Tournament Filter: [PL*] yields 23 games on the 
Game Courier Game Logs page - no Atlantean Barroom Shatranj.

yeah, i think i must have forgotten to enter the tournament field for that
one...

Hi - just got online and saw this comment - no time limits in that game of
Atlantean Barroom either, though we are playing it...

Hey, Carlos - you should delete the 2 dead games of Graeme's and mine;
they're about to expire on time on his move. Juan and I have made twice
as many moves in our untimed game as our timed one, so there shouldn't be
any problems with it not being timed.

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

Carlos

Consolation (Losers’) Pot:

George      2 pts
Jeju        1 pt
Juan        1 pt
Donut       1 pt

A belated thanks for the update to everyone.

Any idea when this event will finish?  I have a feeling it is going to run
into the 2009 IAGO World Tour schedule.  I would want to get the CV site to
be on the Tour again, but events do need to wrap up before the following
year starts.

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)
Graeme  Circular(vsCarlos),Modern Courier(vsCharles),Save/Standard        
       (vsJoe)

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.

Round 2 initial table

I am sure my opponents won't mind because this game is much shorter and easier to play.

No objection from me, Charles.

I will try and get onto assigning these games over the weekend.

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.

Okay, we seem to be back. 

Fergus, could you give carlos carlos some time back in these tourney
games?

Grand Shatranj	carlos-joejoyce-2008-303-724 	30' 20' ago	Joe Joyce has
won.	N/A	Delete
Falcon Chess	joejoyce-carlos-2008-303-721 	30' 21' ago	Joe Joyce has
won.	N/A	Delete

He should get at least 50 hours back in each game, if possible. Heh, I
admit to hoping he'd run out of time, because he was down to 2 days in
Grand Shatranj, and not a lot more in Falcon, but having the entire site
down for 4 days was not what I had in mind...

Joe

I just took five days off the time used for any move held up by the period
of downtime this weekend. Let me know if any logs need to be fixed due to
declaring a winner before I adjusted the time controls.

Fergus, please fix these 2 games that have timed out:

Grand Shatranj	carlos-joejoyce-2008-303-724 

Falcon Chess	joejoyce-carlos-2008-303-721 

Thanks, Joe

I reverted them to the backup files, but I was unable to change the
permissions on the files. They may need to enter their passwords into the
logs page to see the games listed.
