Friends, Andy (Zek) has been helping organize the ICC end of this thing. Tux will be the TD. I will be contacting him or Andy to see if anything has changed. About promoting the tournament to the general (ICC) public, Zek said: <quote> I can add items to the ICC "help event", "help event2" and the event list for BlitzIn 2 users. Send a new item to POTZY, or you can send it to me, and I can relay it to POTZY. </quote> So I will be doing that very soon! About free accounts, Zek said: <quote> Players go to http://www.chessclub.com/register to make a new account. Only those using BlitzIn 2 will get the 7 day free trial. But I will make it a 30 day free trial, and make it so any interface program can be used. They should email me, with their registered handle. (zek@chessclub.com) </quote> PLEASE FORWARD ME YOUR ICC HANDLE ONCE REGISTERED SO I CAN UPDATE THE PARTICIPANT LIST. We will have to establish an entry cutoff so that Tux will have time to create pairings and organize things on the ICC side. ENTRY DEADLINE IS MAY 20. I will forward the final list to ICC on Monday, May 21. So, the TD issue is resolved, everybody knows how to get the free 30 day accounts, and the participant list is shaping up. Looks like we're in for a good tournament! On a side note, my wife is giving me a lot of flak about giving up Memorial Day weekend, but I'm holding strong (for now!). Please brothers, pray for my strength to hold out two more weeks! :-) Once again, the current list of participants: Memorial day weekend (May 26, 27) 8 round swiss with the following start times and time control: 45 10, 8 round swiss.
