Hello everybody, I am jmyork82 and I will be your new and hopefully your final TO for this tournament.
This is a functional thread for me to use so that I may run this tourney effectively. For a complete description of the game and it's rules, please refer to either of the original two threads. Thanks
Looks like I have a couple of people that are currently unavailable to there accounts. To move things along, I am looking for replacements in order to continue the tournament. If anybody knows of any players who would be interested in finishing out this tournament. Feel free to direct those players to me or have them post their interest in this thread so we can keep things going.
Thank you to you three to join. I will put the first two of you in and hold the third as a reserve in case of a similar situation. Any new players to join will start out at zero.
this tournament is taking forever and will continue to take a long time. it's like one of the first tournaments i ever signed up for lol
i suggest having a vote with the other players on maybe taking out the 'loss points'?
or correct me if i'm wrong, is it only those who gets assassinated the ones who loses 25 points? if not, then maybe at least make it that way instead of everyone who lost losing 25 points.
Im actually on top of that Talyn, starting round 15, I will impose an elimination of the bottom 4 from the scoreboard. Then every 3 rounds until either a player reaches 1,000,000 or you have the highest score at the end of all elimination. In all fairness of the original rules, I will keep the scoring the same. This will allow the game to continue as normal. For those of you who are "out of it" will have the opportunity to put this tournament behind you while still giving the ones "in it" to have a fair shot at victory. This means that you have until round 36 to win this tournament. For anybody who drops at this point in time will be considered part of the bottom 4. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause some players but this tournament must come to a foreseeable end.

Not a bad suggestion but the only problem with that is I run the risk of having an odd amount of people when I make games. That is why I chose to eliminate in groups of 4, so that I can maintain an even number of people to be in games. Also, for people who just joined as a replacement and they lost 2 games wouldn't be too fair.
I think it will work itself out because I was thinking about it the other day, and the more people who get eliminated, the faster some of these rounds will go because you wont have to wait on as many games to finish.
