This tourney is hereby CANCELED. It will not happen, as there are no big places left to be held at.

Okay great Saints. Devils are better...tehe. there are two votes and 1 person other than me here...who else voted?

HeroscapeDiva, David, and I most likely will come over. Need some details however before we would commit. Supergeek has not missed an Iowa tournament yet so I would not count him out.

If you go to Jormi's tounament March 15th in Austin, it would not hurt to bring some flyers with you. Who knows maybe you will get some Rochester people ( as well as others ) to come down to Osage.

Question on this: are you saying the "non-winners" have nothing to do for at least 2 hours while the 4 winners do their "playoff" rounds? One thing I really like about the Swiss format is everyone plays the same number of rounds, and the winning players get paired up against each other over time.

Hey I might also have a friend coming with me if you dont mind putting him on the list.

P.S Saints beat the devils.= Saints better than devils.

It is your tourney and you can do what you what ..... but I would recomend a Swiss Style tourney. People come to play not watch. With 16 people it comes out to 4 rounds of play which would get you to one undefeated winner

that would make a nice afternoon of play.

Ya it might be a good idea to have a losers bracket. It would let people play while the winners were playing. Besides who dosnt like bragging about being the best loser of the losers.

Also true...changing...done! And saints, haven't you heard the saying "Good people go to Heaven (St. Ansger), Bad people go everywhere!"

Depending on the rest of the details you can probably count on the Nebraska crew bringing a few scapers up.
