UPDATE II
Due to some concerns with the bracket, seeds were shuffled several times.
UPDATE
Brackets modified, first round slightly extended.
Hi everyone, I got a message from a player who was away during the sign ups and since no games have been scheduled or played yet I decided to let them in. I've tried to keep the bracket in tact as much as I could, but seeing as it is random seeding, double elimination, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter that much.
Also, I'm extending the first round game deadline by a day so that games must be played by 23:59 GMT on Jan. 7 instead of the 6th because having a round end on a Saturday and not on a Sunday seems nuts. I blame all of you for not pointing that out and making fun of me.
END UPDATE
Thanks for signing up everyone, we are underway.
A little housekeeping first. I've had a few requests to change the tournament to fast speed. We are going to keep the speed as normal as default, but if both players agree, games can be played on fast speed. I'm open to any feedback, so thanks for your input.
I know this time of year can be busy, so for this first round I've included some extra time, the following rounds will be a week long.
During scheduling and games, please remember that you are dealing with an actual person on the other end.
If your opponent is set, feel free to start scheduling early if it works for both players. I wouldn't mind making up a little extra time.
