But yeah, this should be fun!
were close to a double elimination YES!
i hate double elimnatoin
If at all humanly possible we will try to avoid double elimination as the format. As of now its block round robin, and I'm looking to try and make block round robin work for us with the numbers of people we can reasonable expect.

Everyone fingers crossed for no double elimination

... Most tournaments will need to be unrestricted and it is a good thing if you get many participants, and more at every event.

I do understand that. I actually do not mind having more people come to events. I always like to have new opponents. Its just the last 2 tournaments I went to were double elimination . I and a few others just would like a change in things. For me its like having to see the same movie every time I go to the theater.
In a nutshell I just want to have a change in game type.

I hope that all of you can come - especially the two of you that haven't had a chance to battle the rest of us yet!

Billy - sorry to hear about that, and I hope that you start to feel better soon and are recovered enough in 3 weeks to come play.
what is block round robin
(Aug. 30, 2011  6:28 PM)nerfblader721 Wrote: what is block round robin

Block round robin is a tournament structure where instead of everyone battling everyone, we get broken into groups and everyone in the same group battles. Then the winners of the groups battle each other to see who gets first, second or third.
hey i might be good at block round robin

Actually, the average processing time for the MD tournaments has been 3 weeks and 5 days.

Did everyone get their discount code from ToyWiz.com?
