Tourney round: The 10th Apterous Masters : Sign-up page
Notes from the organizer: Well hello, ladies and gents.
It's time to announce the Apterous Masters 2017!
This will be the 10th running of the Masters, and the second time I'll have taken charge of it. For the uninitiated amongst you, here's how it works.
This tournament is open to absolutely any of you, however before I write this, I've made a list (by measurable terms, not just a whim) of 24 players who I believe should be seeded on the basis of Countdown/Apterous/Co-events in 2016. These players will make it into the first round proper automatically, should they accept their invites. Everyone else will play off in preliminary rounds to enter the first round proper.
Each round is drawn randomly, except for a provision in the very first main round to try and keep seeded players apart as much as possible. Which means in the round of 16, I could play Jack, or 2 qualifiers could play one another to make sure one makes the last eight. Anything can happen. Games start off as best-of-three 15 rounders, but get gradually longer as the tournament progresses, leaving the final as a best-of-eleven slugfest.
If you make the top 8 this year, you are the first 8 names on the list for next year's competition.
The exact form the competition will take depends entirely on how many of the masters accept their invites, and how many other entries there are, but everyone will get to play - there is no maximum cap on the tournament.
Sign-ups will be open until after the Leeds co-event.
Good luck to everyone!
