Can I request never to face Gilligan again? (jk)

<laughing> Unbelievable that he was the only one that could beat you that tournament, but did it three times. What are the odds of that?

You make it sound like getting a bye is a neutral thing. But what does getting a "win" do for you? Seems to me you don't care how many games you win, you just don't want to get 3 losses. So everyone wants the bye...

Yes, that is an accurate statement.

It IS POSSIBLE that one player could get them all (or even more than one), I suppose. However, it would be so improbable as to be statistically insignificant, at least until the much later rounds when there aren't very many players left.

No, I don't plan to restrict that possibility any...I like to keep it all random. But as I said, the odds of someone even getting more than one bye (until we get down to say...15 or so left) is REALLY remote. We are starting out with 128 players, after all. <smile>

Actually, I've altered my thought on this (a bit). My previous statements stand...however, I am going to add a 6-month premium prize to the mix for the player who ends up with the best winning percentage (who is NOT the overall tournament winner). If two people tie for best winning percentage (certainly a possibility), then both will get it. If more than two tie for it, then sorry...nobody gets it.

So this way, there is at least some "good" to come out of facing a real opponent rather than a bye.

(Added to rules in the first post in the thread - thanks!)
