Hey people,

We are pleased to see such interest towards the uno tournament this time around. Therefore, this has forced us to make some changes in the initial format. Now on the first day we will have two rounds of group match's that is, 16 groups of 3 players in first round and then we will qualify the best 2 players from each group to next round which will be totaling up to 32 players. These players will be then freshly drawn again in to 8 different groups with 4 players each respectively. the best 2 players will qualify again to give our 16 players.
From the 2nd day we will start off with eliminations and it will be knock out from final 16 players. We will conclude the tournament with quarter finals, semi-final and the grand final.

Note:

1. The group match's does not mean playing in groups, all games will be played 1v1. So the players got to play against all their aponents 1v1 respectively to give our top 2 qualifiers.
2. The tournament will commence at 17:00 western, 9:00am central, 10:00 AM eastern US, 3:00pm UK 4:00pm Egypt, Albania and some other European countries, 5:00pm turkey and middle east and some eastern cities, 7:30pm in India and some other Asian countries, 2:00Am in Fiji and 12:00 AM Australia and some other pacific Island countries. That is 3:00PM GMT.
3. The rules will be as usual, Plus 2 and 4 responses are allowed, no skipping after drawing, interceptions, super interceptions, bluffs and a time limit of 5 seconds. For first 2 rounds the score limit will be fixed to 357 points and it will increase by 50 in every next round respectively.
4. If you fail to turn up 15 to 20 minutes after the initial time then you will be replaced with the players from the waiting list, and if we are not able to find the suitable replacement then the 2 players will qualify automatically.
5. All table will be running simultaneously i.e. we will find leader for each table and they will be running the match's and handing us the results.

for the members of my group, I am usually available around the nights, at 8 pm eastern time of united states, but I sometimes conect around the day. I have a small question for the organisers. are we starting the tornament now or we are still wayting to be june 14th? thanks!

You have to show up on time buddy, it is a 2 day tournament,
first 2 stages on saturday, and from top 16 until finals on Sunday.
If you cannot show up on time someone from waiting list will take your place otherwise the other 2 from the group will pass to next stage.
And since there are lots of players taking part, its hard to do specific arangement for each group.
so please show up on time and we have plenty of players and matches.
good luck all!

ok cool. saturday and sunday at 10 am eastern time of USA, correct?

sure, that is the time.

great! see you then for the tornament.
