Thanks for the invitation, I'm in!

Update

Thanks for the input and quick replies.

Regarding format, we are using the auction variant. Four four player games, with the winner of each advancing to the finals.

I like the idea of seeding using the 1-8-9-16, 2-7-10-15, 3-6-11-14, 4-5-12-13 method that you would typically see in a bracket (all of you Americans think NCAA basketball pool) and will use that. I will base the seedings on where everyone stands when the 16th person enters. Winning % will determine seeding in case of a tie.

Regarding invites, winning % will be used as a tiebreak when extending invites beyond the original 16.

Stargate, borisumi, sedge, shizzane, CrazyYog, and dilsonfilho have declined the invitation.

Those who have accepted (11) include (in current seeding order)

jeetee is now eligible and will receive an invite shortly

Tough as Nails declined, casulo gets the next invite.

Getting closer to Brian Carr, who has already expressed interest in playing (now 3rd alternate).

Invites are good for one week, then automatically declined, so this tournament should start in about a week as I only need four more commitments including Brian if we get that far down the list. For the Americans, this gets us past the upcoming holiday weekend so that works out pretty well.

Alashar and mrbass did not respond within a week, next invites go to xescalona and rix_cz.

[cterrell]

The invite for stan is also one week old meaning we did get to brianlcarr, who has committed and brings us to 12.

[stargate]

mrbass has been away from the site for 139 days
rix_cz has been away from the site for 179 days

[cterrell]

Hmmmm, safe to say we should move on then. MrChris66 and smegol are next then. Also, invites reduced to three days given that this post has been out a while and.

[cterrell]

.... and I want to get this party started.

[MrChris66]

Sign me up.

[smegol]

Sounds great - Smegol will play.

Invites going out to JimF and mimoo. Tournament should be starting shortly.

[cpsof95]

JimF has reported that he cannot take his turns very often nowadays due to limited access to internet, so you should probably send more invitations.

Check his long message here.

Update

We're down to the last two, and it's dragging getting the last two names as a result. So to speed things up, and because the top 30 winners were all extended invites already, the first two players with a minimum of 25 wins who posts to this forum and says they want in are in.

Let's get this party started!

I'm happy to sneak in...
