Sending out GvI PMs now. I'll get around to starting the next round FvA games once I've got that sorted...

The third article in my series on 1v1 Strategy :)

Just getting the last first-round FvA Sets going now - there are only 3 sets that have not yet been set up. Starting two tournaments at the same time turned out to be way too ambitious, so I've held off on getting people to set up their GvI sets for the time being. Instead, I'm setting the official ...

I usually have a spreadsheet available which gives links to every game, but right now that sheet is not very polished and has the passwords of every R1 game written on it, so I won't be releasing it until a bit later :) @Taylornottyler, sorry it took me so long to see this! I will give points to any...

I'll lock both later tonight.

I've been asked whether asking mentors for advice is allowed in this tournament. The answer is yes, unless you're my mentee (in which case you'll have to ask someone else instead).

An update! All players who did not confirm have been removed from both tournaments. You can find them marked on Challonge as 'No Player (Dropped)'. If you're matched up against one of these players, you will automatically win the set. Three players have subbed in to open spaces - Wusti, GaryLee, and...

These videos should be pinned on the Dip Advice forum, imo. This one is the best so far - keep up the good work!

Sure! Also, if anyone else wants to join, there'll likely be 4-5 spaces open if you PM me within the next 24 hours (I'll let you know who you're replacing after those 24 hours).

@Wusti - Do you want to play in FvA Showdown, GvI Showdown, or both?

Another update: Missing confirmations from the following players, if I don't receive them within 24h I will remove them from the tournament: Pjmansfield99 TSmith2003 yjt0801 Ricardoprosim Sage Trentpool rockNroll87q Feel free to update your predictions accordingly (although I think pjmansfield will ...

Update: Just waiting on a few confirmations now. I'll send out another PM/Email to the players who haven't confirmed yet tomorrow, and I'll set up all the sets where both players have confirmed at the same time.

There's currently no writeup of overall FvA strategy but I'm planning to write about it sometime in future. In brief - it's very close to what you said (@Fox) but it's slightly different in that while France requires all four of Tun/Mun/Ber/StP to win, oftentimes it's enough to take Tun/Mun/Ber, bec...

Just in time for the GvI Showdown! The article can be found here.

I'm actually writing an openings guide right now - should be available later today. However, I'm nowhere near as experienced on GvI as on FvA so I'm hoping to get some feedback from the strong GvI players once I release it.

I have seen the Ty-N variant discussed a fair bit prior to this, but for this first tournament, I'm going to just run it as standard GvI. I want to see a bit more play at the very highest level before making any changes - bear in mind that it wasn't until a strong tournament scene emerged that FvA w...

I'll make it very clear what you have to do via PM (or email or playDip PM or whatever you chose) when setting up the matches. When a set is ready to begin, I will PM one of the players asking them to set up the 2 games and providing all the details they need to fill out on the new games page. Once ...

Confirmation PMs have been sent out! If you haven't received one and think you should, message me ASAP. Tournament Brackets, complete with matchups, can be found here: FvA Showdown GvI Showdown I've set up the brackets so that we can get games between confirmed players underway asap. This also mean...

Not signing up yet because I'll be too busy TDing - just jumping to point out that you'll definitely get to play at least two sets MadMarx, because it's double elimination :D I'm fairly certain you'll end up with more after that too.
