Re: HA's 200th Tourney (Round 32)

If I'm doing my math right, I saw at least 54 games, which means that there are still at least twice as many spots open as there are spots that can be filled by 18 players EVEN IF all the players play all possible games, which hasn't been the case.
I'll say again that I think that this is way too many games, and it's taking a little bit of the fun out of this tournament. With that many games, you can go try to join games, but it's going to be hard to get those to fill. This will leave players in a scramble at the end of the round to drop games and try to pick up other games that might have more of a chance of filling (unless those players have psychic powers and make the correct predictions from the full board of games).
I'd rather have less map options but more likelihood that the games I enter will actually be played by somebody. Having this much choice is going to increase the chances that lots of players will be at the end of the round and having to find another player to play against because their game didn't fill and most people already won a game and probably aren't checking back in on the games.
I think you could cut down the open slots down to even with the number of slots fillable or a little bit above that (maybe 1.3x). But twice as many is way too much.
