) I've just gone with 2 groups of 13.Groups are assigned here:
https://www.dropbox....%2014.xlsx?dl=0
Complete one 16 board, MP, best hand friend challenge against everyone in your group. Do not check the Advanced Robots checkbox - but all challenges will automatically be upgraded to advanced robots.
(At least) one player should report the scores of each challenge here by pasting a results URL - you can get the URL via My BBO - Recent Tournaments - Results - Open in new window.
The top five in each group will combine into a second round robin. Scores will be carried forward, but to give everyone a chance of revenge for earlier matches, this round robin will be over 32 boards (ie another 16 against your 4 group members, and 32 against the other 5).
The top four of the second round robin will compete head to head in a semifinal and final (1 vs 4, 2 vs 3).
I will set a tentative deadline of Sunday September, 23rd, 11:59pm EST to aim for - 4 weeks for 12 matches = 3 matches a week, as things went pretty smoothly last time - but can push this back if people are struggling time wise.
To avoid someone being sent all of their challenges immediately, start by challenging those just above/below you in the group, and steadily go up and down from there.
Advanced robots have been assigned, so you can start now.
Ties will be broken by total matchpoints between tied players. If still tied, total matchpoints against higher ranked players. If still tied, a playoff.
