For anyone who hasn't checked out the "Any Chess Players Out There?" thread lately, we're trying to put together a tournament. Right now, it looks like the games will be played at The Scheming Mind internet chess site. Scheming Mind allows people to sign up for a free account and play up to 20 games simultaneously and join 1 "mini-tournament". You're presented with a chess board after colors are agreed upon, then you enter your move with your mouse. Each person is notified via email when it's their turn. Time controls still need to be agreed on, but I think we're leaning towards 30 days/+1 day per move.

I hope to get 8 people to join so we can play two "quads", meaning players 1-4 each play eachother once, and the same for 5-8, with the two best records playing eachother for the OT title! I haven't worked out draws yet. I'll be setting up the tournament asap.
