        If you gave 1 point for the bottom placed person, and 2 for the next to bottom etc you'd get a pretty accurate combined table I'd think. It'd mean you would get more composite points for winning contests which had more participants too.

        Of course if you averaged it out, that would benefit people who had played in bigger tournaments, while if you didn't it would benefit people who played in more tournaments.

                OTF 6 (along with OTF 5, evidence of just how strong a player Kev had become before he ditched it)

                                I'd just like to boast that, having participated in 12 of the 13 tourneys, I've never finished lower than 5th, compare ad hoc (6th in OTF 1) and Alex (7th in OTF 3), insert smiley etc etc. (of course, the real significance is that I am totally bloody incapable of ever learning to improve my game, hence all the players who have overtaken me since the early days).

                                  For OTF 11, I'd suggest to just take the round 1 results.

                                      I imagine that that is how you answer the phone.

                                      Can we have another one?
                                      Yes. You've prompted me to launch OTF Chess #14 and send out invites. I hope that this time we have no technical issues with the registration.

                                      If anyone is missing an invite, let me know. Newcomers are also more than welcome.

                                        I joined anothe tournament a few days ago. It's progressing rapidly, but I think I am unlikely to be finished for 4-5 days at best.

                                          From the rate of acceptances so far, I doubt we'll be starting without you.

                                            Checked the number of participants yesterday: four. I suggest that we allow time for a few more.

                                              I'm in an irritating position in the tournament where 5 of the 6 players have completed nearly all their games, whilst the last is playing 1 move a day. Its a rapid tournament, supposedly. I could conceivably still progress though it'd take a rather fortunate series of results, so I might withdraw if we do get close to an otf tournament start date.

                                                Haven't been around here much lately, so I only just saw this. I'll send Alex a text so he knows it's on as well.

                                                  I haven't touched a chess board for over a year, but I have entered.
