Results for first online USCF rated play event!

Hey everyone - we had 7 players for a fun, quick blitz event tonight.  I've included a pic of the crosstable, and will add a "real" results crosstable once I get this uploaded to USCF.

Rislon (Aethelred Templin) took first, and Magister_Militum (Greg Cravetz) took second.  Congratulations!!  Since it's online, we can make the games available for review.  Mike and I are working on a site refresh, so look for a games section.  Would love to get some OTB games for us to share on the site - thoughts?

Thanks to everyone who played.  Couple of questions:

  • Should we configure this as a RR if we have less than 15 ppl?  If not chess.com will limit the number of rounds in a swiss.  How about up to 7 is a single round robin.  8-15 is two sections of RR, split by rating, and over 16 it's a regular old swiss.  This makes sense for the 5|2 - folks on board with that?
  • I was a little surprised (coming from the old ICC, where TDs were close to gods, lol), at how little control I had to manage this event.  Will see about this over the next two weeks before the next one.
  • What do folks think about the 10|2 coming up?  Leave it as is?  How would you change it?
