Tournament game play is now 9 opponents each player 2 games each=18 games first round all players play all players. second round 5 players play 4 opponents 2 games each = 8 games and round 3 final, 2 players play 4 games or as many as required to decide winner?

tukumnieks is currently playing maximum number of games [6] and is therefore for now at the present time unable to accept a challenge from username Peter Jacob. when that situation changes a first game can be sent to his in box. he will also need to change his challenge settings ratings limit and time out settings to allow the game to be sent. more up date on this as it becomes available😲
