Order of the Alliance

Resolve - steadfastness to ones allies and refusal to abandon the effort. These traits mark the Knight of the Alliance through the shifting allegences of the game. Although the allies may change, the Diplomats resolve remains constant.

Short answer - YES!
We've certainly considered it.

But when? With the WB taking up winter / spring, and the DCI going summer / fall, when on Earth could we fit in a Class Champ?

Being a chessplayer myself, our rating system is based on the the same proven system as chess, modified for the variable number of players in a game, varying result options, and so on.

Also getting the help would be a challenge, as well as fitting in potentially two rounds of a tournament. At full length, a 2-round non-blitz tournament could easily go 1-2 years - one of the drawbacks to things like the WorldMasters.

Happy to discuss any ideas you have, or um... any offers to run a tournament. Smile

Has any thought ever been given to having a rating bracket tourney? Our rating system is well and good, so perhaps we should make use of it in a tourney to match players of even skill competing for a title. (i.e. the below 1150 title, the 1150-1200 title, the 1200-1250 title, the 1250-1300 title, the 1300 and up title) Maybe even some names (rather than just ranges, as it is in chess) - i.e. B, A, expert, master, grandmaster.

And for pete's sake, if this does make it past the good idea fairy stage, let's please not make it a blitz.

Anyone else like this?
