Life in 19x19 Title Tournament

[oren]

So Dame are points?

Yes.

I believe Dusk Eagle also tried to express his interest to participate?

Ah, so he did, I'll replace myself with him for the time being, as 41 is a silly number, and I'll wildcard in case someone drops out.

You may take my spot if you'd like. Of course, if someone else joins it is not necessary.

[topazg]

Nah, that's fine, unless you actively don't want to be in it - I've got plenty of things going on anyway

[karaklis]

I also volunteer as wildcard.

[quantumf]

I'm happy with the proposed time, but would suggest that since the main time is relatively brisk (compared to some of the options), that we don't pick too blitz-ish a byoyomi.

I don't mind what ruleset is used. I'm most used to Japanese, but am happy to play any of the other three options too.

[Nikolas73]

I prefer 30/5.

Yes, 30/5 or even higher would be good, I don't like suddenly playing blitz when byo-yomi starts. One question, sorry if I missed it earlier: What does a "round" consist of? Best of three games? Best of five? Seven? The Kuchinashi Tournament (in General forum) uses best of five over two weeks and it seems to work pretty well.

Augh, how did I miss this thread! I guess this is what I get for only looking at General Discussions/ 1on1 Malkovich section the majority of my visits on L19. If you need some extra participants, I will join. Although, if sign ups are over, it's unfair for those who signed up on time if you keep letting people in. Can you post a confirmation that sign ups are closed? I'm 2k on KGS.(Most likely lower, since I do not play often).

[hoohoo]

If theres room for another wildcard i would gladly take it (i play as wbaduk 5d/kgs 3d)

[MountainGo]

I prefer 30/5.

Yes, 30/5 or even higher would be good, I don't like suddenly playing blitz when byo-yomi starts.

You do realize he was talking about Canadian byo-yomi, right? 30/5 means 30 stones in five minutes, which averages to 10 seconds/stone. That seems pretty blitzy to me, although I'm not used to Canadian.

[Chew Terr]

Nevermind, I really need to research more before I act like I know something =D

[Nakamura]

Hey there. I'd like to join if still possible.

[tj86430]

Looks like we will soon have the 48 players that was the original target. Can we agree that as soon as the 48th signs up, the registration is closed?

I wasn't actually going to say anything if you were going to go ahead and make it a 40 person tournament. Still, thanks for speaking up for me tj86430. It seems that we're almost at 48 now, so perhaps there's no need to drop the size down to 40.

Anyway, everything else topazg suggested in his page four post sounds good to me.

[topazg]

Sounds great, many thanks, I'm officially waiting for 48 now too
