Each team will consist of 2-4 players. This may sound unfair at first, but really isn't. The more players a team has, the harder it is to agree upon a move. This is why it is suggested only people who already know each other make teams of 3 or more people. Players can agree between themselves and create their own teams. Others who haven't made their own teams will be randomized into teams.

Friday, December 8, 2007: FIRST ROUND HAS BEGUN!
NOTE: This article is more updated than the original topic. If a difference in information occurs, this article will be regarded as most recent unless otherwise stated.
NOTE: Any questions regarding the tournament can be pmed to i_like_pie, 7h3.D3m0n.117, or Temperal.

Teams

Each team will consist of either 4 or 5 players. Players can agree between themselves and create their own teams. Those who haven't made their own teams will be randomized into teams.

During the tournament, a team cannot request to have another player added to their team unless one of their players cannot participate anymore. Players cannot switch teams, so choose wisely if you pick your own teams.

Rules

A team must post a move within 2 days after the other team's move. Each time a team fails to do so (unless there is a good reason), a warning will be issued. 5 warnings will result in disqualification.

The use of computers, chess programs, and other devices that give your team an advantage is not allowed. This rule cannot be strictly enforced, but hopefully people will play fairly as this tournament is for fun only.

Tournament Format

Depending on the amount of players and teams, there will be several rounds of Swiss, followed by single elimination for the final rounds. For the final game, 3 days will be allowed per move.

Signing Up

Before signing up, please make sure you will be able to participate. I_like_pie will accept sign ups via post in the original topic.

Sign ups are closed as of November 24, 2007.

Playing

All games will be played in the Math and Strategy forum, with each team posting moves when it is their turn. All games will also be documented on the Wiki.

Here is the format for the page name of each game:

AoPSWiki:Chess/Chess Tournament Info/Round #/Game #, where the first # is the round number and the second is the game number. All of these would be part of Category:Current Round # Chess Games.

The format of games in the last two rounds will be different:

AoPSWiki:Chess/Chess Tournament Info/Semifinals/Game #: all of these would be part of Category:Current Semifinals Chess Games

AoPSWiki:Chess/Chess Tournament Info/Finals/Game #: all of these would be part of Category:Current Finals Chess Games
