Speaking with breakfast on Dashn a few weeks ago he proposed a tournament with Dashn and KGS. Here are the rules of the tournament:
PatrickB: This friendship match is now officially announced. I've revised the date given below and added a link to KGS's match registration page.
"The 1st Dashn vs KGS friendship match"
- Date: February, 29 (Sunday) 21:00 (9 PM) Korean time (GMT +9)
- Rules: All games are even, Japanese rules, 30 min basic time + 30 sec / 3 times byomi, komi 6.5
- System : 100 boards in total. Boards 1, 3, 5 ... will be played on Dashn, boards 2, 4, 6 ... on KGS at the same time.
- KGS team will need 100 main players + 25 reserve players. If you're able to play, please
register 1. KGS ID 2. KGS current rank 3. Dashn ID 4. Dashn current rank 5. e-mail address 6. Main or reserve? Notice : If you are not sure, can you take part or not, please, become the reserve player 7. Ask the candidates -Where do you wish to play? a. I wish to play on KGS b. I wish play on Dashn c. It does not matter Notice: Dashn client supports Windows users only The registration will be closed on February, 25. KGS rating on February, 25 will be used to make the pairing. The player, who can play on the both servers have more chances to enter the team. If it will be more than 100 candidates, stronger players will have an advantage.
Velobici: Sounds like a lot of fun! From what I have heard from KGS folks playing on Dashn, that the Dashn population of players, fight more, and more vigorously. Everyone may want to play some on Dashn to get used to this style in preparation for the tournament.
Neil: How unfortunate that some KGS users will be locked out of half the games due to Dashn's complete non-portability.
Helger: See the newly created DashnFAQ page (and please contribute).
But note that the DashnFAQ does not provide any solution to the problem.
Reuven - Hmm... (Back to the original subject, u bunch of drunks...lol...And that's probably even b4 ttt noticed this page..;p) Playing half of the games on dahsn is a bit of a prob, since it'd require the users to register (Can't play there simply asa guest, like on kgs..).. Maybe playing the kgs-dahsn turnie on some other server, isn't sucha bad idea..lol
ZeroKun: Seems not all is finished, so I'll keep you in tune.
