Andy SC NOTE
Sign ups actually close on the 5th November

Andy SC I anticipate for the Round Robin stage to last a month and unplayed games won't count

Zarte Siempre Won't everyone other than those who lose to a 9 lose within 10 points and get a bonus point?

Matthew Tassier 9 rounder, Zarte

Zarte Siempre But "Format: Sudden Death Letters."

I'm confuzzled.

Matthew Tassier I think it's the old comical random format on sign-up page move.

Zarte Siempre Ah. OK.

Andy SC What Matthew said. This is just the sign up page.

Zarte Siempre OK.

Mike Springett When does this start?

Andy SC 7th of November, Mike. As stated in the tournament description.

Mike Springett Cool. I hope to not be square :D

Jason Larsen Sudden Death Letters? What?

Andy SC Jason, that is just a comical format for the sign ups page you won't have to play it. I will be creating another page that the fixtures will go on that the format will be standard 9.

Jason Larsen Why does it say that then?

Johnny Canuck It's just a pointless thing. There's no reason for it not to, since this is only the signups page. Don't think the games are going to be best of 99 either.

Andy SC The format is stated in the sentence under the format heading, Jason.

Jason Larsen Ok Andy

Andy SC I have had the decision to close sign ups for this tournament today. So if you still wills to enter the tournament then you will need to sign up before midnight. I will then enter all the fixtures on Sunday ready in time to start on Monday

Johnny Canuck There will be 861 fixtures in the round-robin stage if I'm interpreting this correctly. What will the end date for that stage be?

Andy SC I think the 18th December should be a fine enough date for it to finish and give people enough time.

Johnny Canuck Gotcha.

Johnny Canuck One other question (sorry for taking up too much of your time): Will there be 8, 16 or 32 people entered in the knockout stage?

Andy SC I don't know though if i can see anybody else signing up.

Andy SC Well certainly not 8. I was thinking 16 was a bit small and 32 was too large for number of sign ups so i thought 24 was going to be sensible enough.
