I’m glad to see you around here, seems like we both watch the others blog ;)

The tournaments which are valid for the EGF need to follow a few rules involving time limits, handicap and pairing system. And being recognized by the EGF.

My last (and only) tournament was held among local players, with 2 dans and 12 kyu players, there weren’t enough boards for all the tables so some players brought their own, and the clocks were borrowed from a bigger club… If a tournament created with such resources is accepted, I don’t see why other clubs wouldn’t be able to create such events.

But I think that your idea might be in the right direction and I’m missing something…

That would explain why from Romania we see such a high ratio of dan players to kyu players: dan players have a hope to win and such get some of the travel expenses covered, so they show up in higher numbers than kyu players to European tournaments.
At least that’s my explanation.

That link you offer is the updated list, right? I hadn’t seen it… seems like Cieply usually updates this list every few days and the “main one” once a month.

Thank you for the link

Actually on Cieply’s site database is updated two days ago again
(look at http://gemma.ujf.cas.cz/~cieply/GO/alleuro.lp )
