Thema: Re:

Fencer: Counter proposal:
Set an open ended elimination tournament, with a fixed starting date. On the starting date, all players which are above the 8, 16, 32... limit, in the order of their subscription, are chopped off. So that it's a first come - first play tournament

As MadMonkey rightly points out, trying to guess in advance if you can interest 32 or 64 or 128 people in your tournament is impossible.

rabbitoid: Yes, a good idea

OR set it for 128, and if we do not get enough start a 64 one, a 32 one, a 16 one, a 8 one one etc..etc.. until all the players were used up. Then all them winners could play each other in a Final Elimination (which would be the same as having Byes, but a lot more work).

Either way the code would still have to be written, and if doing that why not do a proper job and write a couple of lines of code so that everyone could play, everyone would be happy (well, the BrainKing players would)

Its a system that is used world wide in nearly all sporting Tournaments.

Question: Does someone hold something together with a piece of tape, or use a nut & bolt and do it right (well , i know what i mean)
