Apothecary Chess Tournament[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I have tested the final presets for apothecary chess. They have shown no more trouble. I was wondering if people will be interested in an apothecary chess tournament. Here are the preliminary rules should it happen.

  1. Each round a player plays a game of apothecary chess-classic and apothecary chess modern
  2. In order to avoid bye, myself will play only if the number of players is odd
  3. The tournament is a double round robin if there are 4 players, a single round robin if there are 6 or 8 players. A swiss system with 6 rounds if there are 10 or more players.
  4. Should the tournament be a swiss system the pairings in round one will be random
  5. Remember that there is a possibility that a game has finished 0.75-0.25. This will be used in rankings
  6. Time controls are 1 move/day
  7. There are no prices except for the honor of winning the tournament!
