Now this thread is mainly for ideas and to see interest so please share any thoughts.

The matches could be 5 minute, 10 minute, allegro, all of the above, maybe even corro. that would be up to everyones decision.

We could organise it in a few ways, some one on one matches world championship style, a knockout tourney (with 3 lives/chances perhaps), a round robin or double round robin or of course a swiss.

Or even a combination where it starts as a round robin and the top 4 (depending on number of entrants) play off (1 vs.4 and 2vs.3) in a 10 match series and then the winners play off in a 15 match series to make it exciting, who knows!

The games would be held mainly on ICC but if a compettitor was unable to do this then it would be nice if some ICC faithfuls gave FICS a go just for the game

EDIT: I forgot to mention I'd be more then happy to organise it all if there was no other interest in organising

Thanks guys,
Jaydon

*sigh* I don't have an ICC account

Sounds like a good idea though. I like, very much.
