Platinum Hat Tournament for SFB

[Jean]

PLATINUM HAT

Our new Internet SFB International Championship Tournament is open for registration. Registration will close July 5th and play will begin July 15th. This is a single-elimination tournament using the format we test drove with Fight For A Cure. This will be conducted through SFBOL.

We will have 64 seats (more if there is demand) and anyone eliminated can re-enter for no cost in one of the unsold seats. Once we know how many people entered, some uber-players (e.g., former national champions) may get first-round byes.

Having learned some lessons from FFAC, Tournament Marshal Steven P. Petrick will ''ride herd'' on the tournament to ensure that games are played on schedule and the event does not drag. There will, inevitably, be some delays near the end when re-entries have to ''catch up'' to the initial entries. A firm hand on the helm will ensure that these are as minor as possible. Two senior players (Gregg Dieckhaus and Peter Bakija) have been appointed as ''honorary sheepdogs'' and empowered to encourage people to get their games done.

The entry fee ($10 per person) will be added to the prize fund which ADB, Inc., has always provided, making this the richest SFB tournament ever held!

Enjoy and good luck to you all.

Jean,
That link was to to register. It was just to pay (I did). Is there an official place to signup and select your ship/options, etc?

Paul, I think that the "register" part is after you pay and will be on SFBOL. As soon as I get a link from Paul Franz, it will be here, on the BBS, and on our page on Facebook.

Thanks for getting me to clarify that!
