In the event that the tournament is official 64 man tournament, we should start earlier. 11am is a good time. On top of that, with the 5 dollar buy in, I don't think people would be happy with bo1's. 50% of the players will be upset putting in 5 dollars and losing one game (plus buying internet time).
With a loser brackets, 75% of the players will be upset in this situation.
With a loser brackets, the ro64 and or32 would take much longer because there are not enough computers in the back section of cybercraft that is reserved for us during the day.

These are just suggestions

As for my opinions:
start time 11am-1pm
ro32
no buy in, we already pay for game time; lets just have fun
loser bracket (dont care)

Let's start some advertising for a sponsor or of some sort.
That way we can have a standard set tournament format so people don't have to complain.
(But complaining and whining always keeps the thread up keke)

Steve, no matter how you cut it, every first round, HALF THE PEOPLE WILL BE UPSET! Actually, I'll go this far. The amount of people who are upset after each round will be an exponential curve towards (Number of total players)-1.

MATH'D

Usually, with buy-in tournaments, there are usually discount for the competitors so that someone would not have to buy time at expensive prices. Imagine that with the 5 dollar buy-in, and the 6 hours that is going to be needed (12 dollars with membership but buying at 5 hour blocks), minimum prize has to be ~20 dollars to even justify the cost. I understand that Cybercraft is a business, and thus needs to be profitable, but by hosting such a grand scale, a lot of competitors are going to feel short-changed.

But then the people who get knocked out first round get short changed. The longer you stay, the more you pay, the more you win back (thanks to the generous buy-ins).

Anyhoo, the hope is that most people won't mind the price so long as they have a good time.
