Tournament idea

[rusty JEDI]

Ive seen this mentioned before, but im interested in trying it. We need 10 players and then we get a private single table tournament so stars is out of the question. Then we have someone not in the tourny draw pairs thus making 5 teams of 2. Now the pairs are told in private to each other so you only know who your partner is and that is it.

Each pair hooks up on IM and it is a "collusion tournament." You could declare a winner 2 ways. 1 being best combined score, so 2nd and 3rd would beat 1st and 5th. Or the other way to declare a winning team is whoever comes 1st, then they are the winning team. In this case if you come 1st and 10th your team still wins.

Teams could become obvious quickly just by the methods they are using, but it could be fun even if we knew who the pairs were.

Another option is if it is at 9 handed stars we could make 3 teams of 3.

Anybody interested?
