Candidates Format

With the round of 16 coming to an end, I thought now would be an appropriate time to have a quick discussion about the format for the Candidates round. As most of you know (sites.google.com/site/crazyhouseworldchampionship/rules), the Candidates will be a single round-robin, with the two players with the highest scores advancing to the final World Championship match. There will be 28 unique matches to be played, so, in the interest of being spectator-friendly, I was thinking of having the following schedule:

Each day, two matches will take place (4 unique players, of course). As mentioned on the website, "The playing period of these matches will extend for two weeks." If we follow this schedule, that is exactly what will happen.

Is that fine for those who have already qualified? Perhaps some players might not be able to play during the weekdays - my proposed format, then, would be in need of some minor modifications.

I can play on weekdays, but since I am in Israel time zone it is hard for me to play against those in other time zones.

@xuanet @TwelveTeen @mastertan @chickencrossroad @JannLee @allyouneedisluft @blitzbullet Opinions?

I am fine to go ahead with this format, only if the times are right for my opp and myself. Weekends are still the best time for me though.

I wonder whether we should make a list of each players timezones, preferred times to play and then perhaps work out a schedule from there.

Cheers

What were the results of the Round of 16?

Format seems great! I'm in the pacific time zone. Evenings usually work best for me

I am not in the next round, but I think @mastertan has a good idea to work this out.

ESt and whatveer is fine

Weekdays aren't great for me. Would not mind stretching this out further than 2 weeks.

I'm going on vacation from the 11th of march onward and won't have internet for a few weeks.. Is there an estimate of when this tournament will finish?
