We all have real-life commitments, so having a not-too-long time control is perfectly reasonable. @Tacticus: The entire schedule will likely be released at the beginning. I don't have a problem with people playing games early if it is necessary, but I would probably release the results of each week all at once just to keep the "feel" of a one game a week tournament. (It builds suspense!) @Gorckat: Unfortunately, the Mascot will not be ready for this tournament. If and when we have a second one, yes. It sounds like 15/30 is acceptable, so we’ll go with that.

(Maybe as a computer account? Not that I don't believe you're real, Mascot! Just that I think, uh...your "thought process" might be, umm...an algorithm! Yeaaaah...like an algorithm...umm...right.

Since it is round robin we know we will all be playing each other once but we will not know who has what color or what week we play until the schedule is posted. Will all of the pairings be posted in advance? And, if so, can games be played before the week scheduled if mutually agreeable?

For selfish reasons I'm just looking for a time control that will result in games not much linger than 90 minutes max; I don't have many blocks of time longer than that during the week is all. I can play on weekends sometimes if worked out in advance. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone! Thank YOU, Donnie, for keeping the ball rolling.

So finding each others seeks hopefully wont be a problem. I figured players would message each other to figure out ideal times, then you just do something like “match name 15 30″ at the right time.
