Ok, all competitors are in, I've used the site random.net, and with the time stamp: 2008-05-09 22:39:47 UTC, produced the following draw:

Donado vs McCool
esmufc07 vs Cekscrayons
Cornell vs Cantonaswife
Utd Heap vs PJ

Mclovin vs Cockney Red
Malcolm31337 vs Ciderman
Brad vs Veron
Paddyf091 vs CockneyHammer

Rednome vs Michaelness
Slevin vs Crappy
p_ps_sock vs ecantona
GazM vs Si Yuan

Hectic vs No 7
Baz vs Lizard King
Mehro vs 3Sixty
VidaRed vs Addict

You have until say wednesday 10pm to complete your first round games. This is the only draw that will take place, so for example the winner of Hectic and No 7 will play the winner of Baz vs Lizard. One game only until the final, the first drawn player plays white (so if Donado progresses to the final, he will always play white). I reccomend Yahoo chess, but any site will do. I will adjudicate on any issues, to the spirit of the law. Good luck!

Do we need to provide proof of victory or should we, dare I say it, rely on honesty?

I should imagine folk aren't that desperate to win this! I'm sure Cafites will be quite honest

We definately need a more resonable solution as to who plays what color in each round ?

Oh and how do rate yourself in chess brad ?

Was the luck of the draw Veron, can't say fairer than that

I can play chess, you'll have to be of a decent standard to beat me I reckon. But I am very beatable!

Should say, perhaps best if you PM the person you're playing to arrange a time to play

After the knockout we could play this like a real chess tourney where the winners move up the table and stay there till someone trumps them while the losers are sent back and matched against thier equalls.

Why not have a League table instead? Everyone plays each other once and then we can see who the ultimate victor is. Would take longer but would add to the excitement.
