Are there more chess players here?
Yes
everyone plays correspondence games against everyone else. A correspondence game is a game where you have a long time to make your moves, so no need to schedule a specific block of time with your opponent. We could set a time limit of 1 day per turn to not draw out the games for too long
I would prefer 15+10 rapid or something like that. People could be given some x days of time to arrange time suitable for both to play the match.
A win is +1, a draw is +0 and a loss is -1
Normally in chess tournaments win is +1, draw is +1/2, loss is 0.

I like this! For some reason, I thought it would be too much commitment to arrange times for such matches but I actually don't know why I thought so. I would prefer this because it means we're going to have a winner faster and can iterate sooner on the system.
Would you prefer everyone playing against each other in this first phase or brackets?1

Oh, I didn't know that. We can also do that then :)

  1. Btw, you finally made me look up what the +10 means, lol. This is how much of a chess noob I am. ā†©
