Life In 19x19

I'd like to participate.

I'm in!

I like canadian because it's more flexible. Normal overtime usually makes me play faster than I'd like, and the division isn't that hard to to, usually.

I dread having to play it offline, though. Counting stones and setting clocks to play must be a pain in the ass if you never did it before.

I'd like to take part too. Please sign me up for round 2. Although daal on KGS is now at 3k? and even beat a 4k yesterday for the first time ever (yay!), I hardly ever play on that account, and the account I use regularly is pushing the 6k barrier but hasn't broken it yet.

BTW, I think Canadian time is great, at least online. When I use it, I almost never get into time trouble, not even in blitz games at 1:00 + 3:00/25

When would this tournament start? I'm interested, but for real-life reasons I'd rather not have any obligations to play more tournament games until about June 10. Possibly entering in group 3 would make that possible? (I'm just about KGS 5 kyu; I see there are other 5 kyus in G3.)

When we've got a few more players, and then probably a fortnight or so per round. So yeah, you'll be safely out of the games until mid-late June at the earliest

Okay, count me in in group three then .

It sounds harder than it is. Often in a real life tournament there are people around to help you count out stones and make sure it is all correct. (That has been my experience)

Additionally, in an ironic twist, digital timers now count the stones for you, so it is even easier.

I'll give it a go......

5K KGS

I'll play. I don't know my exact rank (is there such a thing?), but I should probably be in group 3 or group 4.

I am in too!

Im down yo! Its about time I started playing more. Im 7k KGS.
The only obstacle that I might have is the time of the tourney as well. With the end of the school year aproaching I have to study for finals. I also have to take summer school in the summer in addition to a possible job. I'll definately try to make time for this though.

Count me in! WatariWill on KGS, 6 kyu BGA (and around that on KGS).

To jordus (if a mod could pass this along to him as well)

I think the time idea i perposed was taken differently.

for the 2 hour per player i ment as the final game. not every round xD
