Crosstables were generated using an online random number generator at http://www.random.org/ Results are as below.
 
Please make your challenges starting on 1 Oct. This will also be the results board.
 
Unlike Spud, I have not named the crosstables. :) I will put up the layout when I have a bit more time.

If anyone on table twop wants a soft game or games, let me know.
 
Warren(DFL) aka kingsfull

Good question. I'm going to message him real quick, see if he's simply blanked on this.

Day 1, and I've already botched a game through a mis-move on 4 ... been a long week! :)

As of the morning of October 3, all my games in this Evans Gambit event are underway, except for the games with TrencherKnight and Blue, whom I have not heard from yet.
 
Bartvinnink

My games are all underway too, except for those with TrencherKnight and
Blue.

At the risk of being labeled a Busybody (justifiably!) I am going to get my two cents in here. I am wondering if the Random methodology used to put the two, "Tables" together is the best plan for an event like this. It appears to me that Table 1, with the Random generation,has turned out to be considerbly stronger than Table 2, what with,arguably, the two best correspondence playsrs on Caissa, Gladiator and jaume1959, plus the up-and-coming Bartvinnik, and this old Pawnpusher. I don't know that this has anything to do with the hesitation of Blue and TrencherKnight to jump into the thick of things, but it is certainly a possibility. When the next eventlike this is organized, I hope some consideraton will be given either to balancing the Sections by lining the players up according to rating and placing every other one in a different section,or to having an "Open" section for the top-rated half of the entrants, and a "Reserve" section for the bottom half.
 
I want to thank Grim for organizing this Event! My comments are just
friendly suggestions, and nothing more. TDing is a thankless job, and
I don't mean to make it moreso.
 
Wiz

I do agree with you, because the 3 highest ranked players are all in the same crosstable.

I've got a big mountain to climb....

No hesitation on my part, just a very busy weekend. I'll usually move once or twice a day.
 
Blue

 
Certainly valid points, all. Speaking as the only sub-2000 who was placed into the "Dealers" pool in the previous MOT, and basically getting a butt-whipping all around (except for the game power spotted me a queen), I can understand that sentiment. But then, these tournaments are also a chance for players to get more exposure, not just to openings but also to superior players. Personally, my game has improved significantly over the past year+ since I started entering these MOTs -- I had pretty much stagnated playing Blue all the time ... :)

I don't know what to do - I can't make corrs moves.

Ratings aren't perfect, but they do give some indication of relative strength. A simple 1-16, 8-9, 4-13, 5-12, etc. works fairly well. The problem with random is the higher rated players can be bunched. One solution would be to seed the top half of each division, leaving the rest to random chance. Sort of a hybrid. It is the method used in most tennis tournaments. That way you keep things scrambled up.
I have used the site random.org. myself.

Trencher, what happens when you try to make a move? How far do you get?
Will the game you are trying to make a move in come up at all? Have you tried using another computer to access Caissa and make a move? Have you tried re-installing Java? Have you tried using the non-Java mode? Explain just what happens when you try to access a game and make a move. I am sure that somebody here can help you solve this problem.

The board and the pieces show up. Historical moves, players names, and any buttons (send/resign/rest) do not show up.

this is probably fine tournament men I do not see the point in and play against the same opponent with black and white? that will provoke the same position it ought preferred color so everyone could play against e

Trencher, the first thing I suggest is that you go to Member Service, then to Select Interface and then let Caissa perform the tests to make sure your are set to use the Java Interface. Do that, and post here again if that does not tix things.

I'm a little late ,but i'm all in now.

I think this may be the first result in this event.

And this is the second one
