To preface, I realized the error in my bracketing. Unfortunately, there is no way I can ensure that each person enters the same number of rounds, but this was the fairest way to go about it without removing players. All players have been listed randomly.

Welcome to the first (what I hope to be annual) Atlas Chess Tournament!

Rules:

1. You must register with a chess.com account and post your username publicly.
2. All Standard challenges must assign sides randomly (in other words, a player cannot send a challenge that designates them as white).
3. All challenges must allow exactly 3 days between turns.
4. At the end of a game, one of the players must report the result. The bracket will be updated accordingly.
5. In the event of a draw, there shall be an automatic rematch.
6. Regardless of your opponent, please put all personal and political grievances aside. Above all else, be a good sport.

Since the tournament is being played between two forums, I'll be mediating as necessary, but I encourage players to check this thread and the thread on AAD if possible so that you know who to send your challenges to.

Game time!

Can i participate? Not that i would be a contendor for winning because i suck in chess.

Unfortunately not now because signups are closed.

My concern is the three day turns and rematch for draws will extend this... forever.

It depends on how much people play, but school is starting again and everyone's busy, so the time limit has to be flexible.

I'd be willing to take up Cath's spot, if that's possible.

Sure.

Btw if anyone who has a bye wants to play a practice round against me, I'd be down.

I'm game for a practice round. Just sent you a challenge.

PSOL failed to move within the allotted time, making Statilius the Epicurean winner by default. He now advances to play against Oregon Blue Dog.

Also, I still need someone to take Vosem's place. I thought Laki was going to, but I have a feeling he's stepping back from Atlas for a while.

Here's the current bracket:

Vosem's spot will be taken by minionofmidas aka Orlick Trellis on AAD and play against Sev.

My internet connection's acting weird and I can't re-download the bracket now, but oakvale has defeated IndyRep and advances to round 3!

Also, JacksonHitchcock has agreed to a rematch after our game ended abruptly due to the fact that I can't access chess.com. Hopefully I'll regain full internet access by Thursday or so.

Sorry, kind of been busy for most of the last couple days. I'll tell Hamilton to accept your challenge on AAD.

Updated bracket. JH has still not agreed to my challenge despite agreeing to a rematch after my connection crashed.

jdb has made an account and is currently up against Hockey Dude. Jackson Hitchcock has yet to respond to my second challenge request and if he doesn't before the invite goes away, I'm calling a forfeit.

Here is Hamilton's account.

I'm giving Jackson Hitchcock 48 hours to respond to my challenge or else I'm advancing to the next round. He's been PMed multiple times now.

It's been almost two days and Hamilton has yet to respond to my challenge.

Please disqualify him forthwith.

He's pretty active on AAD. I'll give him one more chance to respond and if he doesn't, I'll just advance you to the next round.

It's been 48 hours and Jackson Hitchcock has not responded. He automatically forfeits.

In response to some questioning by Scott on the AAD thread, an analysis of the ending of the oakvale game:

-snip-

Good stuff. I know we've had it out in the past but I wish you luck in the semi-final. You're obviously a very formidable and experienced player.
