Once a week for the past few weeks, I've been running an authors-only 15 0, swiss, 5-round tournament on ICC. We've been doing it at 2 pm server time Friday one week and 5 pm server time Saturday the next. No, I'm not going to try to convert those times :) So, my question is, now that we've run a few of these, how can we make it better, and/or attract more program(er)s? Here's a few ideas, PLEASE comment or add your own! Hold the event less frequently? Change the number of rounds? Change the time control? Add one or more commercial program each week? Change to a different day/time? Create a mailing list to try to get some bigger names (people who don't read/post here as regularly)? Provide some kind of incentive for playing/winning (don't ask me what, I'm a broke college student)? I can't think of anything else...please make your own suggestions. Thanks! Andrew P.S. Unless there are some radical changes desired, we'll still have this week's tournament at 2 pm server time Friday, as usual.
