Hi all, okay so I have privileges and will now start setting up games.

First off, I have randomized everyone using random.org.

Second, given we are 54 players (and 2 reserves) and I chose such bizarre settings, it's taken me a while to work out what the tourney will look like in practice.

All that remains now if for me to set up the games and send you the password.

wolframshades replaces jklash12

And we are fully away!

Some interesting facts about this tourney.

(As at the commencement of this tourney ... as in as at the time of writing this) the average rating is 1768. Lowest rating is 915 and highest rating is 2858. Eighteen players have ratings over 2000 and I am in the bottom 16 with a rating less than 1500.

But most importantly, the Mayan curse was broken as a consequence of your efforts!

Correction, Keefie rplaces jklash12 (wolframshades became unavailable). Just waiting for that correction to be effected then we should be all set to go.

Ok ... Uinal now up ... just a note of apology - for the six player doubles I screwed up the game names but I cannay be bothered remaking them just because of that ... one group have two 1s and a 2 and group 2 have one 2 and two 3s. That is instead of a 1, 2 and a 3 ... lol. Please ignore that and I will keep a track of things myself ... silly hippo!!

Enjoy and good luck!!

EDIT: fixed one of the muckups because I had to re-do it!

Incidentally given we are dealing with singles (or doubles) in three player (or six player) games, there is always the outside chance that there is no clear winner in your set. Don't fret, if that happens I will give one more game and it will be the winner (or winners) of that game that will go through! That process will exist throughout the rest of this tourney whenever such outcomes occur.

jklash12 was kicked out for violating the rules - not sure what this means for the games

Aha ... thanks for that.

sundance123 has this set so jklash12's removal is irrelevant. Little purpose in playing a 1v1 with Belize as he can't do better than 1 v 2!

wolframshades replaces whydelilah ... invite sent but this round will run a little slower due to Freemium status.

Are you offering to be a reserve?

by **thehippo8** on Wed Jan 30, 2013 4:30 am

Ok ... no response from The_General_MZM ... lol!!

Anyways, a quick update. The abberant game has been deleted. A new one will be set up in due course!
