there should be no "bye's"    IMO



The only way to make sure of that is to limit the tourney to 8, 16, 32 or 64 players depending on interest level.

I like Strips second idea but think we'll leave it as is for now.  Because everything is by random selection it's still as fair as it can be.  The guys who have to duel in the first round will have to be on their game and it will be even more of an accomplishment if they go all the way.

I don't really want to introduce double eliminations or best of five as it reduces the "any given Sunday" phenomenon.  The way it is, even if you lose it could simply be you had an off day and I think the importance of each duel in the current format will keep people coming back even if they don't get past the first round (I know I could have won that one but...).  Furthermore, if two great pilots get matched in the first round and one is eliminated it leaves room for a lesser pilot to advance.  I think this also helps keep the tourney interesting for all skill levels.  Just my thoughts.

I would say that since the match up selection is done at random, having a "bye" is as fair as a month long player drawing a veteran in the first round.

Just trying to say that the "byes" will be drawn from a hat so everyone has a chance to get one so I think the way BE has it now is best way.

Three of the four review committee members have agreed to stay on for this tournament.  I haven't heard from Vudak.  If I don't hear from him by tomorrow I will be seeking a review committee alternate in case one of the regular members is not available for some reason.



Vudak posted last month to say he was looking for a house, getting some more qualifications and trying to launch his freelance history teaching skills as a sustainable business! He probably wont be around much till christmas so if he doesnt contact you I would say he is probably going to be semi-AWOL for this tourney.

Sure Tordon.  I'll take you up on that offer.

4 1/2 days to go until sign-ups end and the tourney begins.  Anyone else?  You don't really want all those guys to get first round byes do you?

Who says you're getting a first round bye?  Even though the odds are with you only the random draw knows for sure.

I still don't understand why there has to be any bye's?(sorry I'm difficult)  one at the most,

why don't you take the number of players and divide in half and random pick which one's duel each other, and so forth till there is only one,

Another option would be to pair everyone until you reached a predetermined level or have a lone bye.

Ie.....

98.....49...25....13....7....

96....48....24....12....6.... .
