Allow me to put some minds to rest :)(posted 8921 days ago)First of all, the knockout tournament will be IN ADDITION to the current tournament we're using now. The current tournament format will not change except for that 95 % speed rule, which I've mentioned previously, instead of 90 %. It will also NOT go away and be REPLACED by the knockout tournament.
Think about this: if the vote to put in a knockout tournament was for example 14 - 13 in favor - and I'd say "knockout tournament in, other tournament out" - that wouldn't be fair and it wouldn't be for the complete benefit for the MARP players.
So I'll mention again - the current tournament will STAY regardless of wheather or not the knockout tournament takes place. The knockout tournament will be a complement to the current tournament for those who would like to participate.
If you want to play in the knockout tourney and don't want to play in the current format - kewl. If you want to play in the current format and don't want to play in the knockout format - kewl. If you want to play in both - kewl. If you want to play in neither... well that's a different story :) j/k - that's kewl too :)
Thanks for your attention. GB9
P.S. For the record - there's a two month wait in between tournaments right now - though I'd really like that to be back to one.
