Is your Caps Lock key broken? I think you should bring it in to get checked.

I think given the speed of 5 0 games you could at least do double elimination, or better yet a swiss seeing as how there's not that much more overhead to allow all your players to take part in every game.
Granted, it will be difficult to pair people by hand even in single elim. so I'd assume you have software to handle the job, and said software is likely to seed people so that it splits the field in half, where #1 plays #26(50, whatever) and it goes down from there.
I think it's also a good idea to start a side chat room to post scores and pairings so as not to flood the main chat page too much, and there's also a bit of organization missing that isn't apparent in your post.
ill try and be there i would like to see if it is going to work
sorry for the caps i wanted to show its important and everyone this is very important and u mit even be champ of chess.com and i will give u a trophie
i dont get that 5 pmis not early nor is it late
5 pm is getting on in the evening for europeans, and it's also 2 PM for the west coast and early morning for the aussies... basically it's good for people in CST or EST but not a whole lot else unless you have the night-owls from the UK and western europe.
Ugh, or if you want, you could join:

I've tried hosting 2 of these things, but it never works, due to lack of news flow and participation rate.
The problem is, if you try to advertise on the forum, sooner or later it becomes old news, and by then you usually don't have enough people to form the proper tournament, or at least the one you're imagining.
If you're interested in playing in an organized tournament, join the group above. The participation rate is about 10-15 players. Actually, there's a tournament that starts next week.
I just hope that the webmaster or whoever works on Live Chess figures out a way for us sheeple to organize and host live chess tourneys easier, and soon!
By the way,
If you do manage to gather enough people for this thing, then good luck covering the time differnces.
The only solution I can think of is to host it regionally, by timezones that are close enough together so that it is convenient for all to play.
Or, you could just host it here in America. That would be much easier to organize.
On another note,
