I would like to participate as well, but it depends on the schedule.

By the way, did you consider a Hahnkovich tournament?

I've added you as a 4k - Hahnkovich sounds like it could be very interesting, but it would take ages wouldn't it?

Thank you. 4k should be ok I think.

But how do you think will be the schedule and format of the tournament? I wouldn't want to spoil the tournament by not being able to find the time for one or more matches. This year I really lack the time, even in the evenings (growing family ), but of course once in a while I can escape duties

Maybe you can just keep me out until a rough schedule (how many games, how many days, which time zone, etc etc) is more or less ready.

Ok, I'll update you to provisional

My idea was an initial group stage involving 4 groups of 6 players, with a second round consisting of 3 groups of 8 players (group for 1st+2nd, one for 3rd+4th, and one for 5th+6th). Each will be a single round robin, played at some point over the month. So the idea would be 5 games in a month per player for the the first stage, and either 7 per month, or if that's too many, 7 over two months for the second section. I suppose the title match could then be played in month 4
