The 2022 Tumbleweed Championship will be a double elimination open tournament to decide the next Tumbleweed Champion.

All matches will be played on iggamecenter.com on the size 8 board, with 30'+30" time controls.

During each round, the players will have a week to schedule and play a game with their designated opponent.

The games will be scheduled via the Tumbleweed Discord server (https://discord.gg/btwJnRhGhP).

The first round of the tournament will start on October 24th, and the total length of the tournament will depend on the number of participants (in the double elimination format, you are our after two losses).

Oops, I missed this.
I'd be happy to join and make the number even - and of course if everyone agrees.

What is the "deadline" for finishing round 1?

Oh, and my name on iggamecenter is EcoWarrior. It might be good to list that in the pairings, so people can find me :)

oh, nice, I didn't see this. William, the first round ends in 1 week roughly. when would you be available to play our first round match?

ypercube, we already started, so it's too late, but i will especially remind you for next year.
