Hey, Carlos. Glad to hear from you. And if you think you know how to assign tourney games, then go right ahead, you're at least 1 step ahead of me. There's been no word from Fergus, or Antoine. As this has become more and more a user-maintained site, we might as well take the next step and start running the tournaments and such. I'd say to wait a few days to see if we get any response, then send out the next game assignments. Apparently, the games played so far were *not* rated [though I thought they were supposed to be], so the continuation shouldn't be rated.
I'm comfortable with your statement: 'anyone who doesn't move simply loses on time and that's that.  withdrawals from the tournament also means you lose all your remaining games (only option, isn't it?)' - Are there any objections to this?
The BYO tourney is for *any* game you like that has a preset, not specifically for a game you designed. I assumed games like Pocket Mutation and Grand Chess would show up, though I certainly don't expect Mike Nelson or Christian Freeling to play. The idea was that half the tourney games would be one of each person's favorite games. There's nothing to stop 2 people from bringing the same game; then we play it twice.
