KOTH Challenges
Posted: Fri Jul 05, 2013 1:57 pm
This thread is for challenging another player to a game
( Questions should be directed to the Rules + Questions thread )
Challenges must be made against someone on your level. ( Unless you are an assassin going after the king. ) Please use their L19 name when issuing a challenge, as not all observers will know them by their KGS name.
A challenge must include the opponent's name and a time. The time must be chosen from the defender's posted schedule. The chosen time must be at least four days ( 96 hours ) in the future. The time does not need to match the challenger's schedule.
The challenge must be posted in the challenge thread. An email to the defendant is chivalrous, but not required.
You can only challenge someone who has a posted playing schedule with the same or lesser total hours per week. ( When counting hours, anything over 50 hours per week is considered equal to 50 )
If the player who you wish to challenge has an active challenge - either as challenger or as defendant - you must allow at least 24 hours between starting times.
To challenge the king, assassins must have at least one win over another assassin during their current visit to that level.
----------------------------------------------
GAMES:
1) All games are played in the L19 room on KGS.
2) The defender gets to choose time controls.
3) If the challenger is the lower ranked player, or of equal rank, there is no handicap.
4) If the defender is of lower rank, he gets the appropriate handicap (9 maximum).
5) White gets 7.5 komi.
6) If the king is playing, rule #3 does not apply, and the appropriate handicap is used.
