There's a plan on organising a tournament in Tallinn sometime this fall. There has been some interest among Lithuanian players and guessing by some of our own latest playing nights I would bet that there will be at least 15 local players.

As it's already the very end of August, it is unlikely that we could manage it earlier than October. However, unfortunately October seems to be pretty busy in Finnish tournament calendar. Therefore I would like to ask some opinions - would Finnish players be interested in such an event and if so then when would you most like to come?

Of course, any other comments are very much welcome.

Is this intended to be a handicap tournament or an even game tournament? McMahon? How many rounds? One day? Two days (preferable)? Which EGF tournament class (A,B,C)? Venue?

I personally would much prefer even games in McMahon tournament but that (at least partly) depends on what players we will get. Hopefully the kyu/dan distribution will be even enough and we will get enough players.

Two days was what I had in mind, Sat and Sun, 3 rounds (45 minutes per player) on both days. I don't know about tournament class - Matti can probably enlighten us here on what's possible.

Venue again depends on how many players we will get. If it will be close to 40 then there's a very nice and very centrally located place that I could try to get for the occasion. Anyway, we will find something suitable in the city center.

EGF Tournament classes

-- Markku, 30.8. 2004

If the only determining factor is time limit then it seems we could aim for class B. It may be that we could use some help with tournament clocks - whether or not we can borrow from renju/chess people depends on their own tournament schedules.

Here's a short reminder on the most common formatting rules you have at your disposal. A complete list is available in TextFormattingRules.

(empty line)     Make a paragraph break.
----             Horizontal ruler
[link]           Create hyperlink to "link", where "link" can be either an internal 
                 WikiName or an external link (http://)
[text|link]      Create a hyperlink where the link text is different from the actual 
                 hyperlink link.
[text|wiki:link] Create a hyperlink where the link text is different from the 
                 actual hyperlink link, and the hyperlink points to a named Wiki. 
                 This supports interWiki linking.

*                Make a bulleted list (must be in first column). Use more (**) 
                 for deeper indentations.
#                Make a numbered list (must be in first column). Use more (##, ###) 
                 for deeper indentations.

!, !!, !!!       Start a line with an exclamation mark (!) to make a heading. 
                 More exclamation marks mean bigger headings.

__text__         Makes text bold.
''text''         Makes text in italics (notice that these are single quotes ('))
{{text}}         Makes text in monospaced font.
;term:def        Defines 'term' with 'def'.  Use this with empty 'term' to make short comments.
\\               Forced line break (please use sparingly).

|text|more text| Makes a table. Double bars for a table heading.

Don't try to use HTML, since it just won't work.

To embed images just put them available on the web using one of the approved formats, and they will get inlined automatically. To see the list of approved formats, go check SystemInfo.

To make a code block, use triple {'s to open, and triple }'s to close.
