Magister
Tamsin: Hi folks. Please would you delete this page? I feel a bit embarrassed that I created this non-started of a tournament, without the addedd shame of having its page hanging around a year later :-) Thanks in advance!
Tamsin:I'm very sorry, but I really think that it is not going to be worth running this tournament. Not enough people of enough strength levels have signed up for it, and so it would be a bit hollow to have it produce a "Magister". Therefore, this tournament is cancelled. My thanks for everybody who did sign up and let's hope something might be possible in the future. Please could this page be deleted?
Tamsin: It's summer holiday time, and that means it's time for one of my hare-brained schemes. This time, I would like to set up a tournament to be played in its own room on KGS. I thought "Magister", which is Latin for "Master" would be as good a title as any, even if I fear that such a title would not befit me very well! Anyway, if you're interested in setting something up with me, plese sign below. I would like to hear suggestions about format, too. If only a few people sign up, maybe it should be a round-robin, but if we have many, then maybe a "world cup" system with little round robins and a knockout stage at the end would be good. Also, would it be better to do it as a handicap tournament or to divide players into groups according to strength range? Thanks in advance!
I think I shall set a deadline on registration. If you would like to take part, please sign up by next Sunday (one week from now).
