Hi, I am testing out my up-to-date CLOT code.

To do that, I will create a swiss-style tournament. ie, each round, your opponent will be someone of roughly equal number of wins as you - this means that as the tourney progresses, your opponents are those of about the same level as you - this leads to more even games for everyone :)

The tournament will be created and listed at:
https://warlight001.appspot.com/tourneys
BUT I will wait until 30mins to go before creating - so that people only join if they are online near to the start time.
The tourney will start at 1800 GMT if there are the minimum number of players (min 8 to max 16 players). Everyone will play in all 4 rounds (if an odd number, then a random player sits out each round).

Games are real-time and you MUST join your games within 15mins of game creation, else you will lose by default (so any players who do not play until the end will be, in effect, 'booted').

Sounds cool, I'll join.

Hi Luxis, good stuff - check back in in about 1hour. (Any sign up others :)

Hey Unknown, sorry but I am going to have to back out, I don't know if I will have the time required to commit to these games. Hopefully I can catch the next one.

yes please

Im in.

Tourney starts in 40mins, you can join from now on.

Go to https://warlight001.appspot.com/tourneys/24006 and check you like the settings (eg the game template). Then hit 'Join' and follow the join instructions.

TourneyID, when you are asked for it, is 24006.

[kk] Grzechooo wins the prize for fastest joiner!

I'm in too, good to see someone's working on the code.

Ok, 5 minutes to go

We have enough players to start, so will start for sure at 1800hrs.


GRZECHOO - you wanting to play? (you joined, then left - you'll only participate if you hit 'Join' again in the next few minutes)

Ok, round 1 of 4 has started. Please make sure you join your games within 15mins of game creation.

Good luck all!

sorry i got caught up maybe next time

Oh, I didn't realise you had to check back on the thread.

I clicked 'leave' because, hmm, I don't know.

np Grzechoo, glad you rejoined. (Were you testing out the fine user interface? :)

Ozyman: I try to be as clear as I can about the info here, but I still need you to read it :/ Hope to see you next time though :)

btw - to have an even number of players (better since then no-one misses games, etc) I have also joined with a dummy account (easy to guess which it is). I will surrender in all games with this account.

I know, I was lamenting, not complaining. Thanks for doing these.

np Ozy - sorry you missed out this time. Any changes I could make to make it clearer?
