I have seen the Tiny Tournament and liked the idea. I decided to begin a similar tournament with Reversi. Just type "in" and post it here to sign up.
Rules: Nº of players: 3 to 6 Nº of games per round: : 2 (reversi and anti-reversi) Nº of rounds: 2(n^2-n), where n is the number of players. All against all. Time limit: dayly (fast)
Posted the "matchup", the first player listed invites his/her opponnent to the game of Reversi and the opponent to the game of Anti-Reversi. Please do not invite until your matchup has been posted. Each round will not start until the last round has finished entirety.

I ask T.J. to divulge it, but i understand that the site will disponibilize tournaments soon, and i considere that its not proper to do that in a more public board. Thanks for the sugestion anyway.
I sent my invite but didn't get his yet. Oh well, I guess he's not on right now! :-)
And I accidentally said it was for the Tiny Reversi Tournament in the message with the invite instead of the Particular Tournament. Oops. :foot in mouth:
I purposely did the Tiny Tournament as a single-elimination tournament rather than the kind done here; I think that speeds it along a bit more. But now that the new tourneys are here, we can just do those I guess. :-) The Tiny Tournament is wrapping up just in time too!
Plus, even though all of the new tournaments are double round-robin (regular single round-robin can be pretty quick as well as single-elimination), TJ has told me a while ago that both single-elimination and round-robin tournaments were planned; it looks like only the round-robin tournaments are here yet. Hopefully single-elimination will be here soon too, they're my favorite kind!
...even though all of the new tournaments are double round-robin...
Just a quick correction for those surfing the thread (I think newguy knows this and just misspoke): The current tournaments on Pocket-Monkey aren't round-robin or double round-robin. (Details on those formats here.) The Sections style we do takes elements from round-robin but is not the same thing. A straight round-robin isn't really feasible with a very large number of players, because you end up playing at least one game with every other person in the tourney; with a 250-person tourney, that's a lot of games. I fully expect some of our tourneys to be that large and even larger (our First Tourney is already up to 173 as I write this). But straight round-robin is great for "club" style play where you only have a few players, and we may do it for that sort of use at some stage.
See this page from the Tournaments FAQ in the help for the formats we are planning to do (so far). Absolutely, both Single and Double Elimination are planned! :-)
That's what I meant, I didn't know what to call it; some places call it modified round-robin, where you play round-robin or double round-robin with everyone within your section. It allows you to have a tournament split into rounds, which is impossible in a real round-robin tournament.
i didnt follow her ether i mean what the hell is she on about
