TOURNAMENTS SPAIN - ITALY!

Hello my name is Andrea and I come from Italy. With some italian people we organized a italian tournament on Lichess, that will start on 21 february 2016. A friend, who is spanish and whose nickname is GM Blunder has followed the italian example and now he is organizing a national tournament for Spain.

The winners of the tournaments (italian and spanish) will join a new competition, that will be like a match ITALY-SPAIN

If someone of these nations are interested about it, here they are the pages of the groups where to find informations

The target of these tournaments is the FUN!

Well, actually... It might be very interesting if team tournaments were introduced. (Edit: not only interesting, i get the wohoos and hoohoos all of a sudden thinking about it :D)
Running with what GoMentalGoBloody Tournament teams would be great especially if we were representing our countries. Of course would that be the case MURIC'A would win hands down.
Organizing the matches (as teams) and managing a time schedule for the individual matches is currently a labor intensive work. I believe lichess would benefit from a feature that allows automation of such work. (DEVELOPER HELP REQUESTED :D)
I agree with #4: an automated tournament scheduling system (as individual player or as a team), which make longer time controlled (30+30, 45+45) tournaments possible, would be a great feature in Lichess. Something like this initiation: http://en.lichess.org/team/lichess4545-league
I want to share the rules set of the italian tournament, in order to give some ideas about it

the english translation maybe could not be very precise!

RULES

The tournament will be on lichess.org
The targets of it are the fun and the aggregation
It does not provide for age limits
It will start the day 21 february 2016
RATED

Its structure is: a preliminar phase in wich the players will be divided into groups and a final phase among the winners of the groups;
The modality of the competitions will be "all'italiana (double)", in order to permit two games for each couple of players (a game with white and a game with black)
The time of thinking per players will be 15' + 0''
A win will give 2 points; a draw will give 1 point; a defeat will give 0 points

The groups will be formed by following a criterion of rating: for the precision, the classical rating of the day 5 february 2016 for every player; For who does not have any classical rating, it will be that adopted by lichess, that is 1500.

At the start of every day of playing, the players will have to register its own attendance in a specific page of the forum (that it will have the name ATTENDANCES OF THE DAY)

If a player would not be present at the established day of playing, its games has to put off.

The players that will have to recover a game, will agree each other about a day and a hour when play that and they will have to comunicate their agreement in a specific forum that will be named "GAMES TO RECOVER"

If a player or both players would not be present at the established moment of the recover, the game will have to put off again and it will needed a second agreement between the players.

If a player would be not present at the second established moment of the recover (+ 15 minutes), the game will be winned by the present player, that will gain 2 points;
If both players would be not present at the second established moment of the recover (+ 15 minutes), the game should be considered as done and then will be assigned 0 points per part.

The modality of the play-off will be simple, with eventual other games among the players with same points

If, during a game, a player would leave it, the opponent will have to wait the end of player's time, in order to permit to it to enter again and continue the game.
The function of the "retire the move" will be on, in order to avoid any ordinary mouse errors

No arbitrary, but correctness and fair-play

The comunication among the members of the group should have maximum importance in order to solve eventual problems.

THE URL ADRESS OF ALL THE GAMES will be registered in a specific forum, on the group page.

Regards

Andrea
Thanks :)

With my limited Italian, plus Google Translate, this is pretty much what I thought :)
