I believe all of the current Enhanced Tourneys are in the running stage.

Savin might have more information for you.

Dan,

The enhanced tournaments are in two categories:

Site Tournaments
These are open to subscribers and non subscribers and they are run once a year. The include:

1) the Netplayers Tournament. The only restriction is that a player must have an established rating in the new rating system. The next tournament will start around November 2006, the current tournament has about 450 entrants and started about 3 months ago.

2) Swiss Tournaments
There is an Open Swiss that anyone can join who had played at least 20 games against established players in the New rating system.
Then there was a tournament for each of the 5 levels that was restricted to players with established ratings and by level.
These also started about 3 months ago and the next torunament will open for registration around December 2006.

3) Site Championship
This is a once a year tournament and is by invitation only. It is open to subscriberrs and non-subcribers and the invitations go to the top 13 players at the site with established ratings. We keep sending invites until 13 players have accepted.

Subscriber Only Tournaments

We also use the enhanced tournament to organize subscriber only tournaments. These are done about once every 4 months and we will be starting a new set in about 3 weeks. We normally use the netPlayer format for these types of tournaments, but could use a Swiss if our subscribers wished.

Thank you Stavin.

Some of the enhanced tournament games are not starting on the days expected. I expect this is a good idea for some players who have not finished their games yet. The ones that do not play an average of one move a day.

Maybe their computer's have broken down? This is when the seven day rule bites hardest. It can take longer than seven days to sort it out. Luckily, the seven day extension seems to be extended a bit.
