| You've done the tableau wrong.
Inq, Zilv., and Craig should all have byes. You need more practice running tournaments before we can allow you to determine who's the coolest f.neter. :)

Of course then it just determines "Who's the coolest (of the people DFP chose to be contestants)" rather than "Who's the coolest poster on fencing.net".

| If you do, could you start making these things anonymous? I'm really not interested in hurting anybody's feelings when Gav and Craig face off....

more likely that they are going to be offended by the implication that they are the kind of people who would get offended by who voted for who in a popularity contest.
(not that there is anything wrong with being that kind of person). |

| Besides, keeping the voting visible you can see who many of the "alternative IDs" are and make good guesses at who they belong to.... |

| Next time, I think you should have a registration. That way you wouldn't have to worry about such and such. Seed them according to their reputations into the pools.
Everyone's vision is better in hindsight.

| OK, I finally made the sheet. It's half normal, except Inquartata gets a double bye. It's normal for the top 8 and after.
By the way, I think it'd be a good idea to do 4 person DE's. Save time and threads. |

| You gave Inq an automatic bye into the 8? That's quite generous. And I have to go against Tazz?? I'm going to lose in the first round!

I'll sing you all a song, because it's weekend
