I signed up, don't expect to get a spot, but why not embarass myself.

Too Much of a requirement. No bandwidth for that many games. Besides, better chances for you to win. :)

Hopefully, we get to battle again, BB. Last time, we didn't get to finish :(

User Chanakya. has asked to be withdrawn from the tournament. I've changed this in the registration list.

Today and tomorrow are the last day for signups! Registration closes tomorrow at 10pm EST, so if you're on the fence now is your last chance!

Hi everyone. Apologies for being a day late. I've worked out the roster, seeding and complete schedule for the tournament and accepted all participants - just checking in on one last person to see if they're in or not. While you will not play every single person in the field, the schedule is such that no person has a demonstratively easier or harder slate of games than anyone else.

I'll work with the mods tomorrow on setting up the games. I've settled on 36 hour phases, as that seems to be a compromise between what people have expressed to me privately and in this thread.

Whoops. You know, I was sure there would be enough people to force me into the subs list. When he said it had reached 50 sign-ups, I was certain I'd be fine. But now I'm actually in and have to actually play against some of the best on the site. I'm almost certain I have the lowest GR (at 2400-ish) of anyone who made it in. Prepare to crush me :-) At least I'll get to boast that I've played against some of the best players on the site... Sigh.

Haha. Beautiful. Right on the cutoff. See, I told you I was the worst player in the tournament :)
