No Hammer March Madness Tournament

[lakeman421]

I'm down if I can find some time to play

[Bliss1083]

Just seen the Chicago tournament. I was going to do one day but they don't have an option for that. Sucks! Lol. I could only do saturday

[marinomitch13]

Show up on Saturday anyway! We'd love to at least meet you! There are several other free games just outside the tournament room you can play (but they prefer you are a paying customer, so just buy a $2-3 record or something ).

Might have to go up there and talk to alpiger about all the ddg woman there. Lol. I was gonna go with a friend but she doesn't have the 55 to get in. Hell I might go look up hotel cost.

I count 12 so far.  If you don't get a full field of 16, might I suggest a single preliminary game to determine which players secure a first round bye?

[Milehighdt]

I will start streaming about 6:30pm mountain time on the 28th with the draw. As it stands right now with 12 players we will have 6 matches the first week, 3 matches the next week and a three way final to get our winner. See you all tomorrow

So how exactly will this work? Little confused. Is there a set time I need to play? Need to know as a lot of stuff is coming up for me the next few weeks with work/school/etc.

Thanks

I agree Ross. I think this was only mentioned as it was brought up in the WCR as a "what if" scenerio. I agree if your that much of a LOSER to CHEAT like that and get caught you're pretty much done. I can't believe anyone would do such a thing but money does indeed make people do crazy things. Still is this a scheduled thing? It mentions you have a week to play so how do you do that? I guess I can practice a bit but there should be some requirement that "This is my OFFICIAL game" and need to announce that somehow somewhere. Otherwise you could just keep trying and then when you get a good game say that is the one?

Player one (as determined by draw) will perform one simple movement on the first board directed by player two to establish a live game. When player ones game finishes player two will play his game with  player one picking the simple move.

Seriously? If anyone ever tried to stream a a replay for one of these contests they would be tarred and feathered, permanently banned from participation in any future CAG related event, and then I would personally take a shit in their pillow case.

I don't like the implications this rule brings with it.  It shows distrust, and I hope to God no one in this community would ever try to pull some nonsense like streaming a recorded score for a live event.

[JCHarrist]

Dan, you and your opponent will agree on a time that each of you will play and your opponent must be watching when you start your "official" game.

The draw is happening in a few minutes on Jeff's channel:

OK the draw has been made and the matchups are:

John vs. Monstabonza
Mitch vs. Chris
Ben vs. Craig
Fast Eddie vs. Dan
Milehighdt vs. Eric
Jeff H vs Robbie

Thanks to everyone who signed up and as an added incentive I added a $50 prize for the winner.

If anyone is unclear as to the rules let me know and I'll try to clarify.

Good luck to all.
