Alright how about I propose a layout for the tournament and we can go from there.

I Propose a triple round robin where a 5 minute game, a 10 minute game and a 15 minute game are played against every player.

The top 4 or top 8 at the end of this then progress to the next stage where either (if 8) 1vs.8 2vs.7 3vs.6 4vs.5 and the same idea if only 4 players (1vs.4 2vs.3) These players will then play 4- 15 minute games where the winner progresses, if it is even then 3- 5 minute games will be played, if a winner is still not decided then there will be one final 5 minute game where the colours will be chosen randomly; this will be continued until somebody wins (if 8 players progress then this will be repeated once down to 4 players)

Then for the final it will be a 10 game series of 4 - 15 minutes 3- 10 minutes and 3 - 5 minutes. If even after this then 3 5 minute games will be played, if by some miracle still even (which would be pretty exciting even if slightly painful) then they will keep playing single 5 minute games until somebody wins.

All games will be played on ICC, if no account then go for a trial account and disclose the name of the account to each opponent).

Note this is only the frameworks and the point of this is for you guys to show any errors or room for improvement. Also it would be nice if all games were put in a thread as they're finished

thanks
