If no connect 4 is made and the board is filled up - then the round will be decided by total number of wins.
Initial starting brackets will be decided randomly. - No shows will be replaced by Reserves in the first round - and will cause bye's in later rounds.

Please count me in. Question, though...so if I understand things correctly, each "match" will actually have it's OWN "Connect 4 Board" that the actual match is played on, and that board is filled with one chip follow each round of the match (with the winner placing the chip)?

Indeed, you can see the sample matches from the unfinished tournament here:

Connect 4

A player select the column first, then if he wins, his colored chip is placed in that column, if he looses, then his opponent's.

Ok, next question then...which player is selecting the column, or are both? If both, does that mean that there are actually TWO chips placed for every game won?

Win or Lose, the players alternate choice. first player chooses; then winners chip goes in the column chosen. then the second player chooses, and the winners chip goes in the column chosen, and so on and so forth...You will understand better as the tournament gets underway. I had the very same questions for Yeti when we started last time. I thought I would drive him nuts. :roll:

Game 1 Player A chooses column - winner gets the column
Game 2 Player B chooses column - winner gets the column
Game 3 Player A chooses column - winner gets the column
Game 4 Player B chooses column - winner gets the column

Get it? =D>
