Oh, rated tourney! I'm in of course!

Gandalf had to leave (at least for a while) if I remember correctly. So you still have a chance Geo to make it.

Grazic, that is exactly what I thought when I saw the bracket. The next thing I noticed was that Asmama is just above, and Slynky and Rex just below. Do you believe any of us stand a chance against one of them?

I suppose if there is enough interest in this from the alternates and other unranked players I could do a second tournament bracket for those people. Any opinions?

Hehe, with that kind of name change, Asmala could then start saying, "Who's yer mama!?"

Oh, by the way, don't worry about me so much. Rex and Asmala are the real problems

*Grumbles* Sorry Asmala about the typo, I was... erh... I was sleepy as it was two when I wrote this post. Yes, two pm, but still.

Of course not, I shouldn't worry about you, after all I won my Last game with you. Or did I? Well, perhaps I only succeeded in making you doubt as if I had some trick right under my sleeve.

(While it was a defeat in all other fields obviously) But for now, Grazic and then Asmala are my real concerns. Good luck to you Slynky! I do hope we play again in this tournament, as it would mean we both made it.

(Or that we both lost our games during the same round eh)

Only three players left to accept the invitation. That means the games will start soon

sounds good geo as i am in the disappointed cat.... Hey if you have another 16 players then you can have two brackets ... just mix them up a little more

tesco samoa · #28 November 26th, 2003, 05:25 PM

or even if you have 8 more.... take the bottom 8 and the the unranked and have them pair off in a pre round

then the 8 make it.....to meet the big 8

hmm.... or i have 20 dollars with your name on it

I know I'm new here, but it might be done the way we play our year-end Sunday tournament in horseshoe league. The field is broken into two divisions, so that the folks who are new to the game have half a chance to escape rapid elimination. That way your alternates might even get a chance to play. Eligibility could be determined by some kind of "seeding" within the divisions as I saw someone else suggest....just a thought.

The key idea of the tourney for me was to have the players seeded by rank. That kind of breaks down if you have a bunch of unranked players mixed in. If there are enough players for an other 8 or 16 player bracket I'll set it up. I will keep it separate from the Ratings Bash I bracket though and give it random seeding.

Phoenix-D had to beg off playing in another game, so the bracket has been shuffled up a bit. Gozguy is in.

Still waiting to hear from Roanon and Gandalph. I guess Gandalph won't be back on line at least till next week so I can probably jsut skip him over. That will put me in the tourney.

Haven't heard from Chronon or Deccan if they are interested or not. If Roanon doesn't reply I can use one of them if they reply, or Tesco will get the Last spot if they don't.
