The reporting / scorebook on this one might have confused Doorman, as it's listed in my scorebook as an Indian, not a Benoni.
 
Also, the x in my two matches against Zilon should be 0. Both games are accurately reported on his line, so that should now close out my line in the cross table.

what the hell's the point in playing a tournament like that when men fail and keep the table in order

Hi Power, I don't understandt very well your last comment. I try to maintain the crosstable the best I can, and when somebody comments me an error I change it inmediately. I suppose you never make errors and you should make the very perfect things... Anyway, in case of you organize something and if you make some error, I will simply help you.

...only 2 to go....i am really tired...long MOT!...

Probably we could see other "formulas" to play MOT or other organized correspondence tournaments. A possible formula I think coulb be interesting, it is to organize different classification groups and playing a final group. I mean, if you are 14 people, we can make two groups of 7 players each, and 3 first of each grup classify to play a final of 6 people. With this, we avoid to concentrate too much games at the same time. It is only an idea to discusse...

This is a good idea....If I get enough players for my MOT I will definitely be creating two or more groups

I broke my oh fer streak and beat Raptor. I was white and this should complete all my matches.

excellent idea about splitting into seperate groups.I have not played in several MOT's because of the shear number of games involved.

Thats right, one of the games is missing in the crosstable. I.e. two wins for Zilon.
 
Also, I have two losses against jcfromcatalonia, only one currently in the table.

I think thats a good idea. The current system of all-meets-all creates 30 games with a MOT of 16 ppl, which is too much. I like to have 10 - 15 game going, max 20, and like to include other games as well, not only MOT games.
 
On the other hand I like the system because it pitches you against really strong competition, which you might not encounter otherwise. This really helps develop your skills.
 
Is it possible to combine the two? Maybe its not necessary to play both white and black against all opponents? that would reduce the number of games by two.

Personally, I like playing both black and white against the same player, particularly in MOTs that give the first 3-8 opening moves. You get to see the benefits of either side against an opponent's particular play style.
 
I also like to have lots of corr games running simultaneously, so the numbers of games required doesn't bother me.
 
that being said, I'll play however the person running it wants to dictate the tourney is being played.

Thanks. I update the crosstable.
 
I think it is possible to combine the groups depending of number of competitors. For me, I think 16 games (8x2) it is a possible limit to play with one group. More than 8 it could be better to organize in two groups. Anyway it is a thing that also depends of the organization.
