I'm sorry to hear that, I'm always willing to be cannon fodder ;-).
But seriously, the last tournament gave me an idea of who plays at my level.
I was surprised that Shako or Metamachy wasn't picked for Cazaux's game since those are the ones on Jocly and in his book. And I realize that my game/games are not suitable for tournament play since mine purposely don't have rules enforcement, so they can be played with different rules.
It's ok, not your fault Greg. I would have liked it though :)!
Thank you to those who have expressed interest, but the tournament is cancelled due to lack of interest.
I may try again in a few months to see if there is more interest.
We don't know which games will be included yet. I do not want to exclude games that do not have a rule-enforcing preset at this time. If games are picked that do not have them yet, I will see if one can be made.
An important thing would be to have only enforcing displaying presets.
Participants confirmed so far:
Greg Strong

I would love to be a part of this event. My favorite variants that are currently on the list are (in no particular order) Sac Chess, Colossus, Opulent Chess, Gross Chess, and Hectochess. Also, on a side note, I tend to not favor games that are not much like chess, escpecially if their rules are complicated like they are in Decima or if their presets don't contain full rule enforcement.
I'd play but I was thinking about choosing just a few games and have 3-4 separate tournaments of some of those games. Not that my way is better :(!
Hello Greg.
Please sign me in at the event. Certainly Symmetric Chess is the variant that I would propose as my favorite.
Thanks for the organization!
Anything. I am trying to measure how much interest there is.
Next Game Courier tournament announced. Let me know what you think.
Please let other members know who might be interested but may not be actively watching the site if you are in communication with them.

Isn't it too early to cancel the tournament from a lack of interest? I haven't even seen a call to sign up for it yet. At present, I have just been waiting for the final lineup of games to take shape.
