Joe Joyce wrote on Fri, Feb 6, 2009 04:42 PM UTC:

Thank you; I just managed to outlast my opponents. There were some very
interesting games in the tournament. I appreciated the chance to play most
of the games :-) It's a shame that some were unable to complete the
tournament for various reasons. I suspect others could have done better
than I. May the next potluck have such a range of games and equally good
opponents, that don't run into difficulties off the chessboard. Again,
thank you for running the tourney, je ju, I [mostly] enjoyed it [except
for when Graeme severely thumped me at the end of the first round... ;-) ]
I'll look forward to the next one in some months.

I reverted them to the backup files, but I was unable to change the
permissions on the files. They may need to enter their passwords into the
logs page to see the games listed.

Joe Joyce wrote on Mon, Dec 8, 2008 05:00 PM UTC:

Fergus, please fix these 2 games that have timed out:

Grand Shatranj	carlos-joejoyce-2008-303-724 

Falcon Chess	joejoyce-carlos-2008-303-721 

Thanks, Joe

I just took five days off the time used for any move held up by the period
of downtime this weekend. Let me know if any logs need to be fixed due to
declaring a winner before I adjusted the time controls.

Joe Joyce wrote on Mon, Dec 8, 2008 03:46 PM UTC:

Okay, we seem to be back. 

Fergus, could you give carlos carlos some time back in these tourney
games?

Grand Shatranj	carlos-joejoyce-2008-303-724 	30' 20' ago	Joe Joyce has
won.	N/A	Delete
Falcon Chess	joejoyce-carlos-2008-303-721 	30' 21' ago	Joe Joyce has
won.	N/A	Delete

He should get at least 50 hours back in each game, if possible. Heh, I
admit to hoping he'd run out of time, because he was down to 2 days in
Grand Shatranj, and not a lot more in Falcon, but having the entire site
down for 4 days was not what I had in mind...

Joe

No problem with substitutions...if anyone wants to, leave a comment before
Carlos sets up games and the switch can be made.
Graeme, thanks for making the chart.

carlos carlos wrote on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 01:47 AM UTC:

No objection from me, Charles.

I will try and get onto assigning these games over the weekend.

Charles Daniel wrote on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 05:14 PM UTC:

If there is no objection, for the tournament I would like to substitute Asylum Redux for Titan Chess.

/play/pbm/play.php?game%3DAsylum+Chess%26settings%3DAsylum+2

I am sure my opponents won't mind because this game is much shorter and easier to play.

Round 2 initial table

Based on rankings current as of the start of the tournament, each group
looks like this:

Top group, playing for the PotLuck2008 Title!

Charles   Birds (vs Graeme) Stealth (vs Joe ),	Titans (vs Carlos)
Joe     Atlantean (vs Charles), Grand (vs Carlos), Lemurian (vs Graeme)
Carlos  Falcon (vs Joe), Hole (vs Graeme), Wormhole (vs. Charles)
Graeme  Circular(vsCarlos),Modern Courier(vsCharles),Save/Standard        
       (vsJoe)

Second Tier, playing for pride and a can of corn*.

George   Altair (vs Juan ),JacksWitches (vs Jeju),Rococo(vsDonut)
Jeju    Eight Stone (vs George ),Racing (vs  Donut), Wuss II (vs  Juan)
Donut 	Hammer (vs Jeju), Korean (vs Juan), Rollerball (vs George)
Juan   Bachelor (vs  Donut), Hostage (vs  George),Switching (vs  Jeju)

*In order to receive the prize, one must appear in person at a designated
location, which shall be so designated at the completion of this
tournament.  

If anyone has the talent and time to make this part of the schedule (round
two, not the can of corn collection part) into a chart of some sort, as
Graeme so ably did last time, that would be appreciated.

Carlos will offer to assign the games and get them started when he has
time.  Once he does that, game on.  If you find any time goofs in the game
settings, report them to Carlos and he should be able to restart the game.

Time Controls
Game Courier has very versatile and sophisticated time controls, and
these
will be used to time all games in the tournament. Details on how time
controls work can be found in the User's Guide. The same time controls
will be used for each game. Here's what I propose to use:
Pace:	4 moves per week
Spare Time:	14 days
Grace Time:	24 hours
Extra Time:	8 hours
Bonus Time:	6 hours for moving within 24 hours
Tie-Breaking
If two players attain the same score, ties will be broken by the
following
methods in a topdown order:
Buchholz / Solkoff method (Compares scores of all opponents defeated by
tied players.) 
Sonneborn-Berger (Compares scores of all opponents defeated or tied
with tied players.) 
Number of Wins (Wins count as 1, ties as nothing.) 
Most Blacks (Whoever has won more games as the second player wins the
tie.) 

Good luck to all!  Any problems found in any of the above, let me know.

Note to Rich:  Based on how long round one took...can't imagine there's
any way we'll have this wrapped up in calendar year 2008...at least not
the top tier.

A belated thanks for the update to everyone.

Any idea when this event will finish?  I have a feeling it is going to run
into the 2009 IAGO World Tour schedule.  I would want to get the CV site to
be on the Tour again, but events do need to wrap up before the following
year starts.

Pot Luck 2008 round one is in the books...will try to get a schedule for
round 2 up soon.

Joe Joyce wrote on Mon, May 5, 2008 05:05 PM UTC:

Hey, Carlos - you should delete the 2 dead games of Graeme's and mine;
they're about to expire on time on his move. Juan and I have made twice
as many moves in our untimed game as our timed one, so there shouldn't be
any problems with it not being timed.

Joe Joyce wrote on Sun, Apr 27, 2008 02:40 PM UTC:

Hi - just got online and saw this comment - no time limits in that game of
Atlantean Barroom either, though we are playing it...

carlos carlos wrote on Sun, Apr 27, 2008 02:09 PM UTC:

yeah, i think i must have forgotten to enter the tournament field for that
one...

David Paulowich wrote on Sun, Apr 27, 2008 12:50 PM UTC:

Carlos, Tournament Filter: [PL*] yields 23 games on the 
Game Courier Game Logs page - no Atlantean Barroom Shatranj.

Graeme wrote on Sun, Apr 27, 2008 05:35 AM UTC:

Rich,
do you mean this match chart?
The game-names are linked to the rules and I'll be linking the game-results to the Courier Matches today

Carlos,
Thanks for re-assigning my games, all appears to be working now.

Rich Hutnik wrote on Sat, Apr 26, 2008 05:11 AM UTC:

What is the URL for them being up?

carlos carlos wrote on Sat, Apr 26, 2008 03:26 AM UTC:

i think all the first round games are up now, let me know if anything is
missing/wrong.

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 01:36 PM UTC:

done!

joe, jeju, juan - please move in the new games.

Graeme wrote on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 11:59 AM UTC:

Carlos,

I've created a new ID graemecn and used it to post this message. Can you assign my tournament games to this new ID?

Cheers
Graeme

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 01:52 AM UTC:

grayhawke2.
