Any interest in a new SEIV tournament?

On an aside, I doubt the games can be rated, since the Ratings have closed down this summer. I suppose you could always take the last rankings and update them with the results of this tourney, though.

Oh, I wasn't aware Slynky shut the ratings site down. I hadn't visited it in a while. I guess that eliminates that problem. No ratings then.

Technically, he didn't snut down the site: he didn't renew the subscription instead, letting the Ratings die off. Slynky posted a message in the Ratings thread to this effect, after Fyron had brought up the topic.

And that pretty much sums of the decision to save the money on site renewal. It's taking months for people to notice. I guess between being burned out on SE4 and waiting on SE5, interest dropped. Kind of like KotH did.

I'd be interested in playing. As far as the ratings go, if there are any of those players who opt for this tourney, perhaps rankings could be used as a seed (with unrated being placed underneath).

Otherwise, how would you stack...purely random draw?

Random draw was my intent for the pairings.
