Sweet, I hope you can make it Kinseth. Here is what swiss style is:

In the next round, the two top people play each other, second and third place play each other, etc down to last two players. This process is repeated for typically four rounds, then player with most points at end wins. If there's a tie at the end you can have a playoff.

Advnatages: everyone plays the whole tourny, if you lose one game you still have a chance of coming back and climbing in rankings

Disadvantages: tedious scoring and ranking process between rounds, players at bottom by third or fourth round sometimes feel their games are pointless because they'll never get to to the top

Bump. Ok, this thing is 100% now. I've cleared it with the power's that be and we're golden.

I'll update the first post.

I think perhaps you had too much coffee this morning Sky. You gotta make it man. Nothing beats the cold NY December weather like some Scape.

Curious...

Are you having Round 1 be the same board for everyone?( I mean the same setup?)

Is Round 2 a different setup?

And the 500 Point armies, I assume we are not drafting, just come with our "Team" and we play those guys each round.

Let's see...

I plan on having 12 completely different boards. You and your opponent will fight on a randomly determined board each round, but you won't be playing on the same board twice. That's the plan anyway. We'll see how it works out.

Your round 1 board and opponent will be randomly chosen and then after that you will be put up against another player that scored similar to you in the previous round, but on another random board.

The 500 point armies are not being drafted. You bring 500 points and play with that team each round.

I hope that helps some

I'll PM directions to everyone who's coming a couple of days before the event. I don't wanna put my work address out in the open.
