Hi HA,

I am just going to share with you my approach about this message, because I think you can do better decisions in running the tournament.
In my opinion, players who Joined games but cannot match any opponent are actually in unfair advantage over other players. why?

1. They will for sure play their the strongest map, as they choose to join those and do not drop out.
2. They will maybe get weaker opponent in you than they would get if someone legal player joined. It is not about your playing ability, but is about if someone choose to join, probably he is good at the map, and for you it can happen (in some next round, if you continue to be spoiler with the same principle like now) that there will be some hard map that you have never played so then those players will actually gain unfair advantage in comparing with other players, who both has opponent who choose to join a game, so probably skilled at the map.

What I suggest?

I agree with your "last chance message" that you wrote above, but I think you should have an addition to the message, if someone of active players in tournament who has already played his 3 games wants to volunteer for some map, then he can join 4th game, which would act only as game counting for first player. The player who joins still can gain something, and it is eliminating one opponent from the tournament, so he would not play without a purpose for himself. so you give 24 hour notice, like you did, but if someone of active player states in thread or pm within those 24 hours that he is willing to play that map, then give him to play, and you join only if noone states that he would like to play. on that way, those last players in the round will also get strong opposition which is probably good at the map.

This is especially regarding your recent CC inactivity, so probably there are some of new maps that you have never played, and therefore the players would get obvious starting advantage over other players in the tournament if they play vs you.

If you agree with my suggestion, then I would like to volunteer playing in Game 11913839

Anyway, thanks for running this one, it is my favorite on CC ever.

Kind Regards
