Player List for the 39-Challenge Tournament

The Players

Game Assignments

Looks like we have five players for the tournament, making two rounds unnecessary. So, it'll just be one round with each player playing four games. I think I've covered all the preferences. I've asked Dave to come up with a 2-Player version of Pothole Chess so that can be played in the tournament. Here's Dave's answer:

The way you play two player is that each player takes two colors diagonally apart from each other. Play proceeds as normal except as soon as a king is killed the player who owned it loses.

Good luck everyone, and watch out for Ben, he won the last tournament.
