I want to create the beginner's tournament. I will award a prize for the winner. When shall I have it started? I will make it an invitation only tournament otherwise strong players might enter. I'm sure no Leaguer would do this, but others might.
Please let me know how much time you think you need to find a good pupil, and do let them know they can win a year rook's membership!
You can make it, I believe, an open tournament with a rating cap. 1500 seems a reasonable cap and I would guess you would get more participants that way.
happy hermit: That was my first thought, but a rating below1500 or unrated still means they could have a very high rating in a different variant. They may just never have played fast espionage.
Chaos: That is true. I have just been playing in a fast espionage team tournament, invited by the captain to join his team. As I had no fast espionage rating at the time, I was paired with all the other low rated players. 12/12 easy wins :)
But I do agree with Eric as well, it would be much easier and less work if the entry was open. Is it possible to eject people just before the tournament start if they have not met the criteria?
As to when, well firstly need to find someone, then teach them so that they will at least beat your and Eric's student End January, beginning February?
SL-Mark: inviting them is not so much effort. Since there is a prize I expect a lot of interest, and players approaching me. All of you can point players out to me. I can then invite them, and all beginner's I come accross. I'm prepared to do the extra work involved.
I don't think you can exclude participants already signed up.
Chaos: Yes you can remove players. If they keep re signing up after you have taken them out, you can also "ban" them from joining it again. (BEFORE it has started, that is)
