OK - more from the tournament coordinator :)(posted 8931 days ago)I think this idea can easily work - again - I'll mention that I'll go with the flow - but this has a very good base.
Lagavulin's idea to place 3 or 4 people at one time in the early rounds instead of byes is a very good idea indeed. This would probably be how I would do it without objection.
I would probably go one week for a round with either (3 to 4) or 7 days break in between rounds. Also - probably keep everyone playing for at least 2 rounds to keep everyone playing.(I mean who would want to play risking only playing 1 week?) So that would mean a consolation bracket and what have you.
I would probably seed the first instance of this tournament type by either current MARP regulation leaders(in other words, BBH would be seeded 1st), or by 4th MARP Tournament rankings.(in other words, Renzo Vignola would be seeded 1st if the tournament ended now) New players who sign up would be ranked at the bottom when they signed up. The quicker the new players come in, the higher the seed.
I'm planning to keep the 2 month break in between tournaments - this will give everybody plenty of time to sign up.
We might think about bigger and better things. Yeah - prizes. If we're lucky to get people who are willing to donate them. A neat thought though :)
Thanks for your attention :) GB9
