BIL Birthday Teams 2004

The BIL Birthday Teams takes place on Monday August 30 starting at 6pm UK, 1pm EDT. Eight teams will play a straight knockout event with 6-board quarter-finals, 8-board semi-final and 10-board final.

All teams are now full, but message paulg on BBO if you wish to be on the subs list. Everyone is welcome to kibitz as the matches will be in the Team Matches area.

This tournament is taking place following the Athens Olympics, so it seems appropriate to name the teams after The Olympians, the group of 12 gods named after their dwelling place, Mount Olympus.

Directors: paulg, BILmanager

Players have been assigned randomly to teams - the team name is not a reflection on their online personalities!

The director will resolve ties and his ruling is final. If the IMP scores are tied, then the following criteria will be applied:

  1. In the case of the final, if the match finishes prior to 1950 GMT then at least one additional board will be played. If players agree then further additional boards can be played to resolve a tie.
  2. In the case of the semi-final, if the match finishes prior to 1850 GMT then one additional board will be played
  3. The team winning most boards (board-a-match) in the match
  4. The team scoring most aggregate points in the match
  5. Toss of a coin
