I’m pretty sure that shouldn’t be a problem, so just tag me when it’s worked out who should be it.

Oh boy, sounds like we need quite an epic poll. However, before that, we should have nominations and campaigning. I second @Lys.

I would be honoured to be TD for this tournament.

So is there even anyone else in the running for this position or can we skip ahead to the coronation?

Well, give it some time. In a tournament where the first round lasts two years or more, there is no need to hurry.

Obviously by considering this thread and all the efforts @Lys put to provide regular information i don’t see who else could ask to be the TD.
Anyway some assistance could be a great feature too so goodwill may be welcomed to release some pressure on lys, and even ensure better the future of the tournament.

I would have thought to candidate if only I were 50 years younger.

65 moves over 12 games

Max number of moves in a single game (since last update): 20.
The completed game is the one which was paused since longtime.
All other games had at least 2 moves in the last 3 weeks. It’s a slow pace, but going.
Did you notice this chart?
The bubbles are floating all the way up.
There are two players with 3 games in progress, but all the rest has just one!
Current game is the last game for 18 people.

One thing curious is that there are fewer people who won 5 games than either 4 or 6. I would normally expect the peak to be at 4 and 5. So seems like 5 was tougher and 6 was a bit easier.

Oh WOW, all my games in this round of tournament are finished … who’dathunkit?! 
(I must admit though that it’s not all my merit: I’ve won some games on time, sadly; I can only hope it were positive reasons that kept my opponents away from our games.)
And it happened by end of September already … and I didn’t realize at the time that this was my last remaining game in this round
