Creator of the "NFL Comes to ICCF" Tournament |
Introduction:
During the 2007-08 NFL-season I also had the pleasure to
play ICCF-games against Jason, George and Glen. We shared
many great sundays together - exchanging moves in our games
while watching NFL on TV :-)
An idea came to my mind: While watching NFL on any given
sunday - why not play a small tournament online somewhere
on a server? Well - that was a bit too complicated for us
- and it might also have removed our focus from the most important
in our lives on a sunday afternoon: The TV-screen!
So - we went for something better! We invited other CC-friends
from ICCF - and suddenly we had 9 players! Everybody contributed
to the setup of this tournament - and suddenly we had this:
"NFL comes to ICCF - full contact correspondence chess" :-)
Unfortunately NFL denied us the use of our team-logos in
the crosstable - so we just settled for our team names! ICCF
did not have any objections - we got the necessary permissions
immidiately :-)
On the "NFL Comes to ICCF" home
page you will find links to our individiual profiles,
our teams and our cheerleaders!! Please feel free to enjoy
this event with us - games are available live with zero moves
delay!! Just click on the "Games" links for each
player or go to the tournament crosstable.
Other details: It is a non-rated event, 30 days for every
10 moves and we allow conditionals. Startdate is August 3rd
- same day as NFL.
And every player have paid 20 USD in entry fee - which we
will donate to some kind of charity.
