Questions about hosting a tournament where you play 1 game a week

Hello,

I'd like to host a tournament for folks I work with.  In the past we've hosted 6 week long tournaments and you play 1x10min game a week.  The individuals were responsible for finding a good time to play their weekly game against their opponent.


I was wondering if there was a way on chess.com tournaments to organize / automate this?

What I'd like to do is:
1. Set start date for tournament to 12pm Feb 1 2024 and allow people to join that are members of a club
2. At 12pm on Thurs Feb1 you get paired with someone in the tournament and you're prompted to begin the game prior to the following Thursday. So players have 1 week to schedule+play their assigned game.

3. Repeat for X weeks

Is something like this achievable?


Thanks

There's currently no way to do that in any automated way here.

Do you know of other online tools to help coordinate something like this? @martin_stahl
