P.S. However the rank of 
is undefined. In my previous post I classified her among the mid-sdk since it corresponds to her average rank in correspondence games, but depending how she plays she could be anything between 11k and 6d.

I posted teams in the wiki.
Anyone feels strongly against those, please let me know, otherwise I’ll work on balancing them.

Possible handicap table:
Comments:
- As I said, the rank of Team 4 is undefined, I assumed it is somewere between (teams 1, 2, 3) and team 5.
- With the suggested handicaps, matches will be easier for the stronger team but the weaker team’s winning chance is not too low.
- I’m not sure at all about the last column. Team 6 should decide which handicap they prefer. You may want to decrease the handicap if you dislike high handicap games, however you will get more difficult games.

Maybe @_Sofiam and @Jon_Ko can chime in?
The rest is how I was thinking about it as well.
@_Sofiam what rank should we register you as?
@Jon_Ko team mate, how do you feel about our handicap?

I’m okay with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if our average rank was 9k instead of 11k , but with the given handicaps that should still put as at 50:50 or 40:60. At least according to my understanding of OGS’s ranking and handicap system.
Maybe we should reduce our handicaps all by one to H2-H5, if we play with handicap at all.

Now I am 1k (although often on ogs my rank is worse) and 1k is my rank on EGD, I would say that can be okay. I don’t assure my teammate that I can play at that level, though. I’d say everything between 2d and 6k is fine.
You know I don’t like ranks 
But the tournament should be without handicap, right?
(Sorry, I didn’t read everything well and can’t right now)

I think @jlt’s table is fine.
Maybe Team 5 could play without hc if they prefer, but I think it’s better with.
And in my experience, playing with no handicap against much stronger opponents in a tournaments takes all the fun out of it pretty quickly 
.
It’s different between SDKs and stuff, but honestly I’m tired of playing SDKs and 10kyus in even games in tournaments.

Let’s recap:
- Japanese rules, komi 6.5 for even games, komi -6.5 for reverse komi games, komi 0.5 for games with 2 handicap stones or more. Handicap table indicated above.
- Fischer timing, to be determined below.
- If n<m, the player of Team n whose name appears first creates the game against Team m. For instance, a8090 creates all games involving Team 1, martin3141 creates all games involving Team 2 except the one against Team 1, etc.
- Composition of teams:
Team 1: a8090 (1d) and OnoKakafeniks (5k)
Team 2: martin3141 (2d) and Conrad_Melville (7k)
Team 3: jlt (1d) and yebellz (6k)
Team 4: _Sofiam (1k) and proxy1 (7k)
Team 5: teapoweredrobot (6k) and Feijoa (6k)
Team 6: Jon_Ko (4k) and Gia (18k) - Analysis disabled.
- 1d+12h up to 2 days, pauses on weekends
- This is too fast, need at least 1d+24h up to 2 days, pauses on weekends
- This is too fast, need at least 1d+48h up to 2 days, pauses on weekends

Thanks everyone for figuring out how this is going to work.
I suggest naming all the games “Rengo Tournament” or “First Rengo Tournament.”
I think people have been having some tournaments, just not through the forums.
So maybe “Ogf Rengo Tournament”?

I know the poll results are for off, but as I mentioned
I rarely use analysis, so this is not about my personal preference, but making everyone’ style feel welcome.

You could also link the games in the forums with the new embed feature and be able to watch them here “live” (well they’re correspondence, but they’ll update)
