• A win and a draw at one game will often be enough to advance to the tournament for that game.
• The playoffs are by sudden elimination, with the player who ranked higher in the round-robin playing as White and qualifying in case of a draw.

Does it suit you?
Are there enough players interested?
Do you think it adds up to too many games? (six in the round-robin, about five in each game tournament for those who advance to the final, three or four for the overall championship)
How about playing the whole thing over two years?

Thanks a lot Fergus, I have added them. 
So the Chess-Xiangqi-Shogi Tournament will start in a few days.
Are there other contestants?

In fact, there are currently two presets for Chess on a Longer Board.
Neither prevents check (because it would take more than 30 seconds at the
end of a game), and both use pre-moves and post-moves by the second player
to display the Wall half-correctly. One of these presets also verifies the
legality of the moves, performs baroque (Withdrawer or en passant)
capture, moves automatically the other part of a Wall and changes
automatically the Halfling-Bishop in a Halfling-Rook and vice-versa.
So both presets, although different, display the same following message:
'This preset does not notify you here of check, checkmate, or
stalemate.'
Which is why I thought the same presets were used in my game against
George Duke and in this game.
I've replaced lines such as
$preauto2 = 'convert all Y Z Z Y y z z y%3B'; 
by lines such as 
$preauto2 = 'convert all Y Z Z Y y z z y';
in both the relevant preset and the log file.
I guess I'll try Fergus' solution when I have some time.

Congratulations for a much-deserved win, Gary. The victory went first and
foremost to the better player, but also to the inventor of the excellent
Catapults of Troy.
And thanks also to Fergus for the continual improvement of Game Courier.

There are regular backups, so I think David Howe should be able to retrieve
them.
Anyway, i have Voidrider Chess and Zone X on my hard drive (and so do
their authors, I presume).

Okay, I've added a link to the CXS #1 page, and from there a link to all
the games (which was already provided in a comment.)

This zrf gives a phony Ghost to White (which is captured when Black's
Ghost is captured). Hence there isn't too much distortion in Zillions'
evaluation.
I have also added four extra setups with a White Ghost on c3, d3, e3 or f3
and a Black Ghost in hand (and another phony capturable Ghost to each, for
evaluation purposes). Now both players have the same army, but White's
development remains more hampered than Black's.

I modified a line on your logfile. It now refers to the previous preset
($settings='Galacticnocheck' instead of $settings='Galactic'). But
even that preset won't allow a King to stay behind a non-adjacent fellow
piece when both are threatened by a (Long-) Leaper.
