I'm organising a chess tournament and I obviously need some participants. I'll explain:
Rules:
Playing Tempo: 10 minutes per person per game
Location: www.chess.com
Tournament style: I've decided to do it this way: there will be 16 participants (hopefully). I'll make 4 groups of 4, using the pot system, with the 4 highest rated players in pot 1 etc. Everyone plays against everyone in the group twice. Then the 4 group winners and nrs. 2 will make the two finale groups, numbers 3 and 4 have the same. All groups will be made with a draw. Then we get the semi finals. Everyone gets to play those, so it's 1A vs 2B and 2A vs 1B and 3A vs 4B etc. to ensure everyone gets to play the same number of games. In the semi finals you play 2 games as well, one with white, one with black. In case of a tie, 2 more games will be played until a difference is made. For the finals and games for 3rd, 5th, 7th place etc. also 2 games will be played. If this is extremely vague, please tell the incomprehensable part.
Posting results: The winner (or white player in case of draw) posts the following (Player white) (result) (Player black)

You can always do some practise. Besides, how big are the odds everyone owns you

Would this require a long match, or is it, one does move, then other does move in his own time, etc. or do I have to be active for hours? |

Yeah, but won't the whole game be multiple turns of 5 mins, so hours? |
