Would be cool to have some automated way of joining a tournament, paying a tournament fee & releasing the prize coins to the winners. Gaming is huge & the world needs that sort of workflow for continuous tournaments in all kind of games.

Well if you upvoted this post you are automaticly able to join in the tournament if you wish. The only thing left is that you have to pay attencion on saturday 1 hour before the tournament when I realise(post) the link and password for the tournament so you could join the lobby. It's really simple :). If you have suggestion how to make it simplier I am open for suggestions :)

Well, looking forward to it, what type of chess is it going to be (time wise) i.e blitz bullet classical etc ?

Swiss-system tournament 7 minute matches + 1 second/move. I will post the full rules&format tomorrow. I hope to see you in the tournament this saturday :)

thanks for clarification wish me luck :D

Good Luck, and most importantly have fun :)

You are more than welcome! Saturday 1 hour before the Tournament I am posting the Password and Link for the lobby you can find this info aswell in our discord and in the steemit chats, check my last post for links and info about the steemit chats and discord. GL HF tomorrow!

Very interested! I have a question though, will the android app work for this? And if not is the website mobile friendly?

Edit: think it will work. Count me in! Though I may have a hurricane over my head so sorry if I dont make it.
