YLCET - What's the next tournament?
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:38 pm
We are looking to see what you, the viewers, would like to see for the next YLCET tournament, so perhaps I'll start it off with the following questions:
1) Rather than a ~ 100 game tournament followed by a ~ 100 game Super Final, what if we put in a Semi-Final stage in between that?
2) For the past few tournament we've been running only the top 3 engines - SF, Houdini and Komodo. Shall we make it a top 4 or 5 tournament with the top 2 engines going head to head in the Super Final?
3) If you want more than the top 3 engines, do you want the first tournaments to be blitz, perhaps a 10 or 15 min. time control followed by a semi-final that's ~ 60 mins and a Super Final of the top 2 engines using a 75 or 90 min time control?
You are welcome to provide feedback and suggestions. While we can't satisfy everyone's preferences we will listen to the majority so I hope to see more than just a couple of replies. After all, I'm running the tournament for your entertainment pleasure only.
