Tournaments

Is it possible to create a small private family tournament on RHP (4 players)? Which subscription level is required? Do all participants need subscription, or just the admin (me)?

@ErikH
The 'clubs' link at the top of the page should answer all of your questions on the left side of that page.

It is possible to create such a Tournament in differnt ways:

You can organise all the atches yourself and Keep also the books: No subscription required.
You can found a club and organise the Tournament there. (you Need to be a club or a clan captain to organise your own tournaments using the Tournament facility)
If you want to use the Tournament facility all Need to be subscribers.

All tournament players need to subscribe even to play in a club tournament. So the only option for an official tournament is all to subscribe, otherwise a self set up tournament is the way to go and just have a table in the club with the results.

Thanks for the clarification trev33. I have removed my previous post.
I had incorrectly thought that non-sub club members would be allowed to play in their club tournaments.

I once "set up" a competition via the open invites option but it is quite laborious.
First of all,every player needs to adjust their settings so that all the challenges are valid(minimum/maximum rating etc) and agree on a time scale for you all.
Then each player would have to challenge every other player to 2 games(one white,one black).That would be six games for every player ,assuming 4 players as you suggest so be aware of the maximum number of games allowed for non subs.
As it's a family group, another option would be just one game against every other player tossing a coin for the piece colour.
You would need to keep the results yourself of course-quite easy on an xl spreadsheet similarly set up like the ones on here.
