Too bad there is nothing like this for terrible players like me (1700)
looks really fun to prep for sompin like this and play in it :(

Atomic tournament directors are not paid in $ (Jake is growing the community by doing the opposite), so we will always focus on advanced events that generate more interest. You can always message players around your rating to organize a small friendly tournament!

The best format for small friendly tournaments is a Round Robin (you play a match against every other player). Say you have 5 players: you randomly assign numbers 1-5 to everyone then use the table below. Round 1 would consist of #1 getting a free point (since there isn't a #6), #2 vs #5, and #3 vs #4.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions or want help with coordination.
