Signups
Welcome to the Siyang Chess Classic, the first-ever international tournament sanctioned by the European Chess Federation! The Siyang Chess Classic is an open tournament, in which any registered ECF nation may participate. Participating nations may send up to two players to this event. Nations who wish to participate in this event may still sign up for the ECF in this thread:
Nation Name: Saamiland
Participating Player(s): Mikkel Ooli, Isku Vouvtatti
Setting
This tournament will be held in the beautiful Yigan Mingxing orThousand Stars Casino and Hotel in downtown Siyang. Siyang is a major metropolitan center and trade/finance hub in the Occident, considered the Pearl of the South-East. The beautiful and cosmopolitan city offers something for visitors and competitors of all types, with a wide array of entertainment and nightlife.
Format
The tournament will be a single-elimination tournament. After signups have concluded and the total number of players is known, players will be placed into a fixed bracket using a random number generator. I will try to keep players from the same nation well seperated in the brackets. In the event of an odd number of players, some lucky person might get a bye for the first round of the tournament. Again, this will be determined using a random number generator if/when it happens.
All players will play three-match series against their designated opponents. In the even of a draw at the end of this series, players will continue to play single matches until the next checkmate is achieved. The last series between the two finalists will be a seven match series. Again, in the event of a draw, matches will continue until one player achieves a checkmate.
Scoring/RP Bonus
This tournament will be scorinated using Chessinator v0.2. This program includes a a role-play bonus. The RP bonus is intended to encourage players to write original roleplay during the tournament, in this thread. This roleplay does not have to pertain directly to the chess tournament, although it may. After each day of the tournament, those nations which roleplayed that day will be given a boost of up to 1.0 skill points, helping to improve their players performance in subsequent matches. By taking advantage of the roleplay bonus, even players with low skill levels have a chance to improve their odds of advancing in the tournament, and this is strongly encouraged. The week long period of signups will be considered one day for the purposes of determining RP bonus, although participants may roleplay more than once. The total RP bonus given to each participant will be determined based upon length, quality of writing, and originality, and I will try to be as impartial as possible when making these determinations. A nations RP bonus will be applied to all players representing that nation in the Siyang Chess Classic.
