format says that Round 2 will be as Pre Quarter Final(1st vs 16th,2nd v 15 n like that)
So means 1 player will indulge only 1 Tourney game
right?

So don't u think we should start T6 also?
U know registration also takes a while

I suggest Peter Hill

As Host of a TC, you make the Format. You were the only one who discuss the Format of TC # 5. So you will be able to change what you disagree and will be able to play the next TC.

I will assist you as Stat and score.

Many thanks for your concerted efforts as our hosts of T5. You handled the few bumps in the road that came up with much tact and graciousness. Thanks to all of you that is all behind us now. The 80% rule that everyone voted on worked perfectly and it appears that only 1 or 2 contestants will have to sit out T6. Wish I had the time to host it. You three folks have certainly set the bar high for how to be excellent hosts! Thank you very much.


All the best!

Thank you for your comments... I believe whoever hosts T6 has "smooth sailing" ... I believe T5 we worked all in concert to "iron out the bumps" pass the tournament off new host(s).

In principle, I'd be more than happy to volunteer as host of T6 as I have an idea of a format that would offer something a little different as well as offering a quicker tourney after a few fairly long events (also allowing someone else to bring their own ideas for T7 quickly).

However, It's not so much the format as some of the rules I've disagreed with. Understanding that these rules have been voted upon means people may feel it is unfair for me to change them, I have no wish to spoil anybody’s enjoyment of these tourneys.

If everyone is happy to play a tourney with the rules and format amended, I can put something together before sign up starts. On the other hand, I understand if players want to continue as has been standard, I'd be happy for someone else to host and put forward their ideas.

Regard
Peter
