EPTI highly doubt 64 people will show up.... maybe we should have a 64 man double elim (since it will REALLY be a 4_something double elim) and give people bye's accordingly.....

We've already had a ton of 64 person tournies, lets at least have a double elim every once in a while. | ||

But i think for 9.0 we ought to go for 64 people double elim and just have deadlines for when each round is to be played.. We tend to have a rough deadline of rounds, and when each one starts to keep it on par, but it's hard to do that when some players 8 pool two games and that series ends in 10 minutes, and another series consists of 2 base turtles every game. The tournament admins (<3 Cert & Lisa) Have almost tried everything, but it's how each game is played that is the most important factor, which also happens to be uncontrollable. 64 man tournaments are also quite longer, it may not sound like much being it's only one round more than 32, but we don't have 64 computers to cater to each player for personal use throughout the entire tournament. It kind of flows like this:lets say we have ~40 computers with tournament games being played at once, give or take a few. When they are done, the remaining players have to then wait for those people to unplug their gear, then they have to set up, and change the settings to their liking. After that they usually take another minute to play a practice game with the AI, and then that series gets started. After that, they have to get up, and the losers bracket usually goes, and after that, Ro32 etc etc etc. It's a lot to handle, and time isn't on our side. 64 man tournaments are a lot more rough. (Also, I didn't make this just at your post, but a generalization that should be pointed out to people who get upset when they hear it's anything other than 64 man Double Elim, <3 TLNY) | ||

Also raising the chances that someone can, through pure luck, knock out Pokebunny. Personally, I like having 5 places being awarded rather than 3. Thoughts? | ||

EVERYONE. but rewarding fifth through first place sounds like an incentive for people to come, as they have a larger chance at winning something. How are we doing on sponsors? | ||
