Kk, but, another question, should the defending champion only have to play a match at the end to defend his title, or should he have to play from the bottom up. I think the old idea is better, because he/she could get knocked out very early, or w/e...I don't know. I guess I'll stick with the original idea.

700th post! W00t!

I want to participate in the following tourney if possible, maybe we can get another reserve-draft or something.

Okay, so what we're going to do, since I want to make the next one a lot bigger and better.

We currently have 16 players in this tourney: the winner will have a spot reserved in the final of the next tournament. Simply said, the next tournament will have 32 players, in a similar format as this one, except that there will be additional round (the 'round of 32'). Once it is complete, the 'winner' of the bracket will face off against the defending champion of this tournament.

Since we have 16 players in this tournament, I think it'd be fair to say that we should allow the #2, #3, (so basically, the loser of the final, and the winner of the 3rd/4th place match) to be automatically qualified for the next tournament.

Then, that leaves us 30 spots. Right now we have 14 players for the next tournament, so we need 16 more. We will wait for more people to join, and if there are any spots left I will add players from this tournament based on their ending position/score.

How many games will be played to determine the winner. Like one math or 2 out of 3 or how many?

Well in this tournament and in the next (including round of 32), the round of 16 and quarterfinals are a 4 game series. It's like a best out of 3, but gives the opportunity for both players to play white. However at the same time, logic dictates that if it's an obvious win, then there is no need to keep on playing. The semi-finals and finals will most likely be a 6 game series, although I am considering 8 games for the finals.
