There are 3 different ways for you to win 500 Points or MORE.
#1. Win the most games(not %) in this Tourney out of anyone on SBR besides myself. blankoblanco won this in the last Tourney with 10 total wins.
#1A. In this Tourney there will be a SPECIAL for Newbies(anyone besides DanielEspinosa, blankoblanco, Ian, gauchojake, and jackpot269 will qualify) to win 500 points. If none of the Newbies win a game, I will give 500 points to the Newbie that came closest to winning a COMPLETED game. If any of your opponents should timeout(this is not uncommon in the 1st Round) you will still be credited for the win. jackpot269 won this in the last Tourney with 0 Wins. Yes, you read that correctly. Because he was the only newbie to join the Tourney, and because he played at least 1 COMPLETED game, he automatically Won the 500 points, even though he went winless. I must say though, he was in a VERY tough Section.
#2. Section Winner Prediction Picks. I will explain this more thoroughly once the Tourney starts. If you beat me as well, it's worth 1000 points. But if you don't beat me, it's only worth 500 points. blankoblanco won this in the last tourney as well with 18 Total Prediction Points, beating my prediction points as well, so he got the full 1000.
#3. Tourney Winner Prediction. Nobody got this one right in the last Tourney. My only rule is, you can't pick me as I will be picking myself. There are now several very strong and well known Othello players in the Othello community that join and play in these Tournaments so, I don't think I'm the favorite in these Tournaments anymore.
Also, if anyone on SBR should WIN the Tourney you will Win 1000 points. And if you pick yourself to Win the Tourney AND you Win the Tourney... I'll give you 5000 points.

I am requesting that everyone that joins this Tourney to give me 1 point in this post. This is simply so I can keep track of who has joined.
The Tournament will start on Tuesday, April 26th. I am hoping for at least 50 players to sign up. I haven't done any recruiting yet on IYT or on Facebook but I will do that either today or tomorrow.
Hexversi is a very simple game that ANYONE can learn in less than a minute. I recommend the very short Othello(same rules) instructional video below if you want to know ALL the rules. If anyone has any questions, let me know in this thread.
Good luck!
