Dear Leaguers!

Team NewBlood invites everyone to take part in the traditional Warm-Up Open tourney! Initially it was created as an intrateam tourney to let teammates get better prepared for a new season. The Tourney was held twice, right ahead of TL73 and TL74, and was generally welcomed. Now it's an Open tourney, we welcome anyone who is interested in spending 3 hours of playing in a friendly atmosphere, having fun and warming-up for the Season!

TL78 Warm-Up NewBlood Open Tourney

Location: FICS, Mamer-operated tourney (all information will be available on channel 49)
Tourney Director: LightKnight
Participants: Everybody is welcome (OPEN tourney)
Time control: 10 min + 15 sec/move
Number of rounds: 4
Tourney system: Swiss
Scheduled date: Sunday, May 3rd, 2020
Scheduled time: 12:00 Server Time (ST)
Late Check-In: It is allowed to enter the tourney from the 2nd Round. It is not allowed to enter in later rounds.

The schedule of the Tourney:
Round 1: 12:00 ST
Round 2: 12:45 ST
Round 3: 13:30 ST
Round 4: 14:15 ST
So within 3-hour window the Tourney is completed. We have fun and get prepared for the Season!

Distribution of places:
If the same points scored by a number of players, the following Tie-Break factors are in force:
1) Buchholz
2) Avg. FICS rating of played opponents (FICS rating at the moment of each game is accounted, as presented for each game in FICSGAMES.ORG database) - where necessary.
NOTE: Number of Rounds played (4 Rounds or 3 Rounds in case of late Check-In) is not taken into account. However, we encourage players to join in time to have all 4 games played.

Technical Notes:
1) In case you don't have channel 49 in your list on FICS, please add it: '+ch 49'. There you'll be given all the announcements and instructions.
2) At the scheduled time (Sun, May 3, 12 h server time), you'll be informed of how to join the Tourney. Just type 'td join #', # being the tourney number.
3) Then you'll play the games in sequence (you type the 'play' command indicated or just accept the challenge), as each round starts and ends. You'll also see the results and pairings of the games on your console.
4) Automatic scoresheet will be available right after the Tourney is finished. However, places are not distinguished in groups of players who have scored same points.

Detailed results (considering Tie-Break factors described above) will be published on NewBlood Team website shortly after (the link will be shared here on TL Board).

Welcome! See you on Sunday, May 3rd at 12:00 Server Time! Please don't be late! Ciao! :-)

Hello all fellow TeamLeaguers!

This is a big "Thank you" to LightKnight, PreZandy and the team New Blood for this tournament.
As its name says, it was a warm-up tournament, one that was a pleasure for me to be part of, despite my poor results. Nevermind.

I look forward for another tournament like this, to see how much I improve from now on.

Congratulations to all participants of this tournament. I hope you're fine, despite the current situation.
