Barrow-Wright Club tournament June 6th, Manhattan KS

[Aragorn_Ellessar]

So basically, it's you, and 3 or 4 of your friends and whoever else from (here) comes?
Or is it an actual tournament including anyone in the city who wants to play?

[GarrisonofGondor]

 If my friends from Wichita come and you guys come, we'll have 10 to 11 people + anyone who sees the flyers we'll put up.

Much as I'd HATE the format, it's always a good thing to see organized play of any kind, so I say "WAY TO GO!"

Seriously, I'm more than happy to see you guys get something together. I hope more than just me and Mike show up to the CODCON Fellowship Block tourney, but chances of that are, well, slim.

Thumbs up all the way. Save up some money to go to GenCon next year and I'll hold a tournament with awesome prizes - RoS style I hope - just know that the format will be Standard.

[GarrisonofGondor]

I'd LOVE to come to that Gencon but I just got my learner's and there is NOOOOOOOOOOOO way one of my parents would go with me.

[Elrohir]

I am sorry - but I will not come...

[GarrisonofGondor]

 It's okay. I just chaneged the format, We'll play Expanded.

[sickofpalantirs]

would NB or Agentdrake be coming? essentially, who from the FORUM is coming right now.

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Right now. For sure we have Me, E!U, B25, and 2 other guys from the club. I am trying to get NB to come up from Wichita. I also have Vengence and 2 of his brothers are a maybe.

[HawkeyeSPF]

If I had nothing better do to that weekend, I would even drive the 10+ hours from Chicago.

I probably have something better to do though, my job, for example.  = (

I am sorry - but I will not come...

why not... travel to the US is pretty cheap if you are earning €uro...

June 6th is far enough away that I should be able to ask off that day. I'd love to come up and play again, as would two or three of my friends.

I'll pass the word along to them, and we'll see who would be interested in a road trip.

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Sounds great! Unfortuneatly the tournament is a long ways away. I am ready for it right now.

 Also, we will have a period afterward to trade.

[Aragorn_Ellessar]

Now, I assume that you will divide it up into several 1 on 1 games. The winner of each game will advance, while the loser will move to the other side, kind of like this.



                                                     Player 1 vs Player 2
    Loser of 1vs2  vs Loser of 3vs4                                           Winner of 1vs2 vs Winner of 3vs4
                                                      Player 3 vs Player 4

                                                      Player 5 vs Player 6         
    Loser of 5vs6 vs Loser of 7vs8                                             Winner of 5vs6 vs Winner of 7vs 8
                                                      Player 7 vs Player 8


Winner of 1vs2 vs 3vs4 vs Winner of 5vs6 vs 7vs8

and so on?

The 1st and 2nd place Loser on one side get a consolation prizes, and the the 1st and 2nd place Winners get a prize as well?

Why in God's name would you do it bracket style? Swiss pairings has always worked just fine for everybody else.

Then again, if there aren't many of you in the tournament, I'd just have everybody play 1 game against everybody else, then a final confrontation between the top two finishers to determine a final winner.
