There may be months where more than one tournament will be happening in the L.A. area, so please keep me informed of those dates you are going to propose so that I dont propose on the same day.

If you need eight people, I know a few that can make it, add them to the list:
Sylvia07
poliswag
davachu
dezik

just look at he other proposals if you need help on the format.

Thanks for the support, Paulie. I think I understand everything except how to do block round robin, which I am doing extensive studying to make sure I fully understand it. I just might propose it tonight if I nail it soon.

http://www.printyourbrackets.com/roundrobin.html

Just use that website, disregard the "team part" all you have to do is pick the number you want in each block (for example I printed three 12 "team" sheets and just crossed out the team part and put a persons name). Such as team 1, team 2 and team 3, I would cross those out and put poliswag, kyubibey, blitzy, etc...

After all the matches are done in each block, you just pick the top one or two etc. people with the highest amount of wins and take them to the finals.

Wow thats easier than I thought. One question though. What if I print out three 12 team sheets but only 20 people show? Or less/more people show from what was intended? (You should unlock your PMs so I can PM you and not spam)

Is this the El Dorado park you were talking about?
