    This thread is for those on RealGM who said they wanted to do a chess tournament. Well, to discuss that, and to get help getting the event planned, I am starting this thread here.

    All Real GMers or others who want to be part of this, please post in here, so we can discuss things.

    Here is the how to steps for getting set up in the ranking and ratings (I will edit this over time to make it easier to understand). Contact me if you have any questions.

    The steps:
    1. Sign up on IAGO's website here:
    http://iagoweb.com/auth
    Use either your open ID or an id and password pair

    2. Then sign up for an account at one or more of the following sites (and write down the site IDs):
    * SuperDuperGames.org
    * IGGameCenter.com
    * games.wtanaka.com

    A. SuperDuperGames.org (http://www.superdupergames.org)
    Signing up:
    Click the Reigister New Account button on the top left part of the screen. A registration form should pop up. Fill it out and respond to the registration email that is sent out (if needed).

    Finding your Site ID:
    Your site ID is the ID you use to sign in with. If, for example, you sign in with the site ID: johnsmith, then johnsmith would be your user ID you associate with the IAGOWeb records system for SuperDuperGames.

    B. IG Game Center (http://www.iggamecenter.com):
    Signing up:
    To sign up, click on "Manual" on the top of the page, and follow directions for signing up. Once you sign up, then click on the "My Profile" button on the top left part of the screen, above the list of games in play or have finished.

    Finding your Site ID (on your My Profile page):
    To get your Site ID for IGGameCenter, check the Affiliation URL, which should be the last field. The URL will read something like:
    www.iggamecenter.com/?aid=XXXXX

    XXXXX is your user ID. in this case. XXXXX should be a number, which should be a 5 digit number at this point in time.

    You may find a similar URL with your profile that looks like:
    www.iggamecenter.com/profile.php?uid=XXXXX&lang=en

    The XXXXX is the number where your User ID is. Also, in order to get your game results on IG Game Center recorded by IAGO, you need to be a certified member on there.

    C. games.wtanaka.com
    Signing up:
    To sign up: Click on the login link on the top right hand side, and follow directions. If you have an OpenID, it is fairly simple. The URL is: http://games.wtanak.com/login

    Finding your Site ID:
    Once you are signed up, then click on your displayed user nickname in the top right hand side of the screen.

    On top of the page, will then have something like this in the web browser on top:
    games.wtanaka.com/user/QTysidsa9iuUSAHUs989SAYHsa980y98AS098

    The user ID for the site, if that was it, would be: QTysidsa9iuUSAHUs989SAYHsa980y98AS098

    3. Go into IAGO Web site and map the site IDs to the IAGO profile. Go to this page and find your user ID:
    http://iagoweb.com/records/users

    Click on your user ID to bring up your profile page.

    On top of page, pick the Site you want to create association for, and put in the site ID you copied down before (You could also do this page simultaneously as you get the ID off the other page, switching between the IAGO site, and the partner site). After you create association, it will appear at the top of the page. Be careful with this. You may end up with more than entry for a site, with different usernames. If you attempt to do change your username for a site (that is associated), you will end up with more than one entry. Delete the old entry, or the wrong duplicate entry, and you should be set to go.
