This Fall we've got another ambitious tournament schedule as tournaments after this semester may need to wait till the new student building is done. We will still be running the Handicapped Straight Ladder we've been running since the Summer of 1983, and we'll also offer the tournaments shown below.
This is a solid schedule (but times may change so please keep an eye here if you're interested in playing any of these tournaments).
Please check the specifics of the individual tournaments for information about tournament format, entry fees (if any), and prizes.
18.2 Balkline --
Weeknights September 16 through September 27.
Entry deadline is 17:30 Monday, September 16. Entry fees are due at the time of sign up. Please pay the entry fee to the gameroom attendant. Schedules will be posted by 18:30 Monday, September 16. Please notify the TD before your first match if you have a problem with the schedule.
The format of the tournament (double elimination, round robin, etc.) will be based on number of entries (will go Round Robin with 4 or 5 players). Two divisions will be offered.
Here's the schedule and results for this semester's 18.2 tournament.
Cut Throat (in a self seeding format) -- September 21, 22.
The players' meeting will be at 9:30am tournament day.
The entry deadline for this tournament will be 9:30am September 21.
It's a fast paced tournament (see the Past Tournaments link for more info) that we've run many times before. Most everyone, regardless of their skill level, finds this a fun tournament to be in.
There is no entry fee this tournament but there will be prizes.
If there are more than 16 entries it would become a multipart tournament (number of parts dependant on number of entries). Prizes would be to four places in each division (number of divisions depends on number of entries: two division for 16-36 players, three divisions for 40-60 players, four divisions for 64+ players).
