Default Re: Sign up for 1 on 1 tourney here!

What I did in the first tourney when I needed random seeding was just an updated Version of the hat thing. I wrote all the names down and assigned them each a number in the order they joined. Then I did a search on google for a website with a random number generator. Found a ton of them. Anyway I picked one that would give me a string of random numbers between 1 and n and, violin, random seeding.

For that matter you might be able to find a shareware program that will take your names and generate a rondom bracket for you.

Course the hat thing works fine too.

The main draw back to the pure one on one tourney is what happens when a player drops out. I guess his opponent would get a free pass to the next round. Of course it's all random and it's all for fun, so even if it happens maybe noone will complain about it. Hopefully not anyway.
