* Games are to be 30-second Numbers Attacks.
* 5-round Swiss tournament, not knockout; every entrant is guaranteed 5 games.
* Entry closes at 23:00, Sunday 27 September 2009. Post in this thread to register. Entry is open to everyone.
* Each round of the tournament lasts one week, from 23:59 on Sunday to 23:00 the next Sunday.
* Pairings for the next round will appear sometime between these times, and will be posted in this thread. If a round is completed before the deadline (hopefully it will be), I may post the pairings early, but you will still have until the next Sunday to complete your game.
* Strictly no extensions. Any games unplayed by the deadline will be adjudicated at my discretion. If your opponent has repeatedly no-showed or is incommunicado, please email me to this effect, and I will take this into consideration.
* Please post the result of each game in here, including your name, your opponent's name, the score and a link to the game log on apterous.
* Addition: Due to the unexpected popularity of the event, play will be divided into two divisions. Seedings and divisions will be based on ratings as at 00:45 on 22 September, so there's no tactical incentive to increase/decrease your rating before entering. Hopefully this will encourage players of all abilities to take part.
