Hey folks,

A bunch of September tournies are ready for signup over on the Tournaments page!

September, like March, can be a month of extremes, so this month you have your choice of two styles of tournaments from opposite ends of the speed spectrum: UltraFast with very aggressive timeouts, and Standard with really quite leisurely timeouts.

If you sign up for an UltraFast, expect to make two moves a day, although you might be able to get away with one; you will not be able to skip a day.

If you sign up for a Standard, be prepared to be in it for the long haul -- these can take a very, very long time to finish! In fact, we've only had one "Standard" tourney finish so far (but then, we only started in June).

Enjoy your (tourney) games!

That.....that would be a bug. :-( But no harm done, I suppose, we can play with more people. But I need to fix that. :-) Thanks for letting me know!

Take a look at the "Standard" tourneys -- the main limit is three days, so that's basically twice a week, but with grace time you could take up to seven days to make a move. Be warned that Standard tourneys take a long time to finish...

I think you might have named 2 of the tourneys wrong! It seems you put "Kings" in the names of the following 2 tourneys:

Sep06 UltraFast Kings Standoff - http://pocket-monkey.com/tournament.jsp?id=62

Sep06 UltraFast Kings Anti-Checkers - http://pocket-monkey.com/tournament.jsp?id=61

The games are supposed to be Anti-Checkers and Anti-Checkers Standoff (it says so in the description, which is correct).

Just thought I'd let you know :-)
