    Hey! Like Chess? Like Halo? Then you can sign up for the Halo Chess Tournament this coming weekend from 7-9 PM EST on Friday and Saturday. Depending on how many people participate (10 recommended) people involved, that is how many chess rounds there will be. (5 if 10 people join.)

    When the tournament board fills, I will randomize the players into the brackets. The winner gets a cookie, ultimate bragging rights, and (if you have a PC/Mac and Steam (PC Game Platform) some free **** on Steam!

    Sign up now!

    EDIT:

    So far we have about 7(ish) participants. Confirm if you are able to attend so I know who to put in.

    EDIT 2: OK, so if everything works out well we can have:

    Preliminary Matches

    mackjr1234 Vs. GoatHead

    Bullet2Head Vs. Erupt

    CAPN Cant Vs. Sky

    Surchin Vs. Titan

    Chicken Vs. Slyke


    EDIT 3: I'm adding one more round to the list. This will probably the last update list wise.

    The List will be updated as we go along.

    You generally want the number of participants to be some multiple of two for a single elimination bracket to work. It makes it not only easier, but more fair.

    God, I am so bad at chess. Which makes no sense since it's the type of game made for me.

    I'll play if you can get enough people. But 10 people doesn't equal 5 rounds if you are planning a single elimination tournament

    How will this all work seeing as there isn't really a check/checkmate system in the Halo Chess gametype?

    Also, If it's EST on Saturday, I might not be here due to an end of semester piss-up. We'll see.

    Due to sudden internet loss, we will not be doing the event today. The event will either be tomorrow or next week.
