After almost two and half months after start of three semifinal groups for Second E-Dama Open Championship we decided to organize First Experimental Rapid Correspondence Tournament on E-Dama. It seems tha these two words, "rapid" and "correspondence" do not go together, but the idea ot such tournament is to give a chance for speed players to meet on the same tournament and to finish this tournament without waiting slow players to finish their games.
Here is the graphical representation of average time spent for thinking on three semifinal tournament in period of 15 November 2022 and 25 January 2023.
Based on these data we will organize rapid correspondence competition for 32 fastest players. Players will be invited according to their average time spent for thinking on three semifinal tournaments until there will be 32 players.
Games on these tournaments will last at most 84 days (12 weeks) and if some game will not end in this period, the player who spent less time for thinking will win the game.
One week after finishing semifinal groups, the final group with same rules will start. In final tournament there will be eight most successful players from each group. The rest of players will play in other group.
If you want to participate in this tournament, please send me an e-mail message to goran.igaly@math.hr and I will put you on the list of potential participants. If there will be more than 32 candidates, participants will be selected according average time spent for thinking in semifinal tournaments for Second E-Dama Open Championship.
