OK, let's do this again.

This event will be similar to earlier events, with a round-robin followed by a knockout. The exact structure will depend on the number of registrations, but the aim is to have the round robins slightly larger, and the knockout slightly shorter. This should ensure everyone gets a reasonable number of matches, without having to wait long periods of time after getting knocked out, while still having the excitement of a final.

(A swiss seems too difficult for me to manage, and means you have to wait for the slowest player in every round, rather than allowing people to proceed at different paces if they're more available at one time than another. A full round robin seems too many matches when there are 30-40 registrants).

There are two poll questions above. For the first, select your preferred format(s). Whichever format in question 1 receives the highest number of votes will be used for the event.

For the second, choose which formats you agree to take part in if that is the winning format (even if not necessarily your preference). This will be used as the list of registrants.

If you have not participated in and completed a previous challenge event, you must also send me an 8-board challenge in your preferred format. I will accept promptly - you must complete the challenge before expiry to prove you are capable of participating.

If you have participated before, voting in the poll will suffice.

Deadline for registrations is Wednesday the 30th, 11:59pm EST, with the event starting within a couple of days after that.

For those who don't know what this is about - this is a BBO forum tournament based on issuing friend challenges to each other. See previous threads for examples of how they work.

gwnn is in. IMP best hand is best for people like me who prefer to think only once every 10 hands.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I am in regardless of the format. My preference is IMP best hand, but I will participate regardless.

The only format that I would truly object to is opponent wins. I don't see that format listed, so I am good. :)

Sounds interesting. In, unless there is a skill level / experience level cutoff - in which case feel free to ignore this post :P

I seem to have been playing that format in most of the previous events.

But I'll keep trying -- I'm in.

The skill cutoff was knowing how to create a challenge. You passed :)
