Three questions (sorry if these were already answered, but I couldn't immediatelly see these topics in the rules or the thread):
Since I'm not running this tournament, Greg can correct me if I'm wrong.
1) There are 7 categories. If we sign-up does that mean we are committed to playing seven games (1 in each category)? We play only one game at a time?
I think he plans for us to play eight games concurrently. Since games won't be played in a single sitting, there is no reason to play one at a time. And if we did it that way, the tournament would go on too long.
2) If we have an extended time without access to internet (travel or work assignment) can we use "spare time" while game is on-hold?
The time controls should include spare time that can be used for that purpose.
3) Is computer-assistance allowed (I haven't checked, but I believe some of these games can be played on chess engines).
While no one can stop you from doing that, it would be cheating. The point of the tournament is to challenge yourself by playing Chess variants against other people. If you're just here to win, even if it means cheating, then you shouldn't enter.
