Up to 22 now. Hoping we can get it up to at least 30 before we start the prelims.

 

Prelims... as in qualifiers?

 

We have to get past those to get to the real deal? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

Sounds more like a track meet. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

Yes, it would be nice for Nikos to win something. He puts on these contests, and its only fair for him to be able to win something for such valor.

 

I would have loved to play, but unfortunately I have to start to concentrate on my real job, falling way behind.

Up to 34.I like the idea of going up against each other.

 

What I am thinking is that we will have people go up against each other. Contest would have 3 divisions.

 

They would be the

Winners Bracket

Losers Bracket

Mega Losers Bracket.

 

I like the idea of giving everyone a chance to win. Basically if you always win, your in the winners bracket. If you lose once you drop to the Losers bracket, and if you lose again, your in the Mega Losers Bracket. Once you lose again, your out.

 

I haven't decided on prizes yet, but when I figure it out I will post it along with a rules sheet. I really would appreciate it if someone out there that is good with the bracket thing could help me out. I am decent at doing those, but not as good as whoever did it last time.

 

So if anyone wants to help me out, let me know. Here is who has signed up so far.

So you have to hit the grade dead on or you get dropped down to a lower bracket and eventually eliminated?

 

And if you get it right you move up a bracket, or stay in the highest one?

 

Very interesting... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

If that's the case, the Mega Losers Bracket is going to be a full one. smirk.gif

This is only a suggestion, maybe you could do a bracket type like in softball or college baseball. That is when you lose you fall into the losers bracket, but it would be possible to play your way back into the winners brackets. I'm only suggesting that because you might lose so many people after the first round, at least half the people are already losers. In one loss and you get dropped to a lower bracket ARTY would probably had been in the losers bracket after the second round in Nikos contest.

 

Just a thought.

I'm in....I'd also like to keep the format (or something similar) as it is a lot more fun for every one than playing elimination rounds..

What I meant by that is this.

 

Player 1 vs. Player 2

 

Player 1 gets it right, and Player 2 gets it wrong. Player 1 stays in the Winner's bracket, and Player 2 drops down to the Losers Bracket.

 

This allows people to play at least 4 rounds. It also makes the possibilities of getting to sit out a round due to possibly no competition.

 

Basically everyone starts in the Winner's bracket and then they start to drop off. What I also was thinking that maybe in the end, the Champions of the Winners/Losers and Mega Bracket will have a face off for the Grand Prize.

 

Say it

1st prize for Winners

2nd prize for Losers

3rd prize for Mega Losers

 

Grand Prize is a face off for the Champions of each Division. That would be fun, so even the Champion for the Mega Losers still might come out smelling like a Rose.

You are going to have to explain this real slow, in a thread called:
