Hi all, and thanks for participating! It was a bit of a test run, and I appreciate you all rolling with the punches – and earning some chips along the way.
@DaniPok - due to when staff is online, we aren’t able to make changes once teams are set the day prior, but I’ll make sure that’s communicated more clearly. I hope you can make it next month!
@_snowman and @southwestmba - thanks for your feedback! Having 28 total (completed) player sign-ups and four tournament slots did mean that there weren’t many players in each one. But I also hear @SharonSmarty when she says that having multiple time slots is handy. We can’t have two people on the same team in the same tournament out of fairness, so it’s something to think about. I’ll be posting a poll about it this week and I’m eager to see whether people prefer flexibility or a larger player pool.
@_Rain - Each tournament is a one-off, because we want to make it as convenient to our forum players as possible. So, there isn’t an ongoing leaderboard. This allows you to switch partners month to month if you’re interested in playing with different friends. Ties mean multiple winners for the month. If we have a larger player pool, ties will be less likely. Let me know your thoughts in the poll once I get that up later.
No list for September yet - we confirm everything on the Friday morning before the tournament. I just noticed that your partner Freeto didn’t confirm a time - I’ll be replying in that thread to get that info.
@morcosborcos - Answering your question over here to keep the sign-up thread clear. We are running the same format for the rest of the year, but as of January, we’ll be reviewing viability and scoring and your suggestion will be on the table. Thanks again for sharing your idea!
I’ll be posting the teams after we organize all the tournaments, which we start doing at 11am EST. I’ll be sure to post them both in the signup thread and the announcement thread.
