Good idea. Done.

Slynky, can you give me a list of people who are in the rankings now but have not completed a game yet?

When someone gets a chance could you explain how seeding works? I don't watch tennis

.

I thought 1-8 played 9-16 (1 vs 9, 2 vs 10, etc.).

I based it off the NCAA basketball bracket, but I suppose tennis is handled the same way. The idea is that you reward the better players performance leading up to the tourney by giving them the "easiest road" into the final game. So the best player plays the worst player in the tourney. The second best plays the 2nd from the bottom, etc. The bracket is arranged to that at each round assuming the "right player" wins you will always have the best player playing the worst player left. So in round 2 you have 1 playing 8, round three you have 1 playing 4. Of course the better ranked player does not always win. You still have to play the games.

Well the good news is this seems to be getting a lot of response. The bad news unfortunatly is that this means it's likely that some of the alternates may end up disapointed. Myself included.

Lord Chane responded a couple of hours before Gozguy, so he snagged the 16th seed for the moment and Gozguy is now 1st alternate. However, there are still four people that haven't responded so Gozguy still has a chance of making it in I think.
