This type of bracketing can have byes as well. And I could throw in "Play in games" if I want to make an odd number of players. I prefer the even number though regardless of bracket type. A player with a bye in a chess tourney has to wait, what an hour for a game? With an Se4 tourney it more like a week minimum, and perhaps much longer.

Well, I don't watch sports, so I'm not aware of all the ins and outs of bracket stuff, it just seems like I always hear in the news about 64, then 32, then the final 16, etc. If there is a way, then that's fine.

As to a person getting a bye? It's better to be in the tourney and get a bye than to not be in it at all.

Hey Tesco, we're enemies now, first time ever

In two games I've been your ally but never your enemy so this will be interesting.

Good luck Tesco, you will need it.

I wish you good luck Geo, I rely on you to defeat Rex (and Parabolize as well I gather)

Grazic, it seems like both of us are cursed, as we won't play together for now. I don't know, but there is something that prevents us from being in the same game. Thus I am afraid for the Pairs game. *Smirks*

Hey, guys, how do you think I feel? I got paired against my best friend. We've been playing for years (PBEM before PBW). He knows me inside out! We discuss strategy all the time as we discuss our games with each other. How do you think it feels to be in a game like that? I think I'd rather play the "Finnish Fiend"

Finally, as things get under way, I'd like to start off the "Thanks" to Geo. It's a lot of aggravation doing this sort of stuff and it takes time to run things. And trying to find a way to get as many players in who want to play as can be done. I'd give him another 5 rating but I can only do it once.

So, THANKS, Geo, you put the "Play" in PBW!

Be careful what you pray for, you may very well get it. (I don't remember the exact phrasing as you can see) Asmala isn't too far from you Slynky in the brackets.

And I am convinced Gozguy would welcome you to take his place against the Dweller of the Chilly Land known as Finland. *Smirks*

I second Slynky thanks to Geo, what else could I add? You could add another 5 stars rating Slynky, all you need is another account just for this purpose.

Alneyan, we seem to be fighting....

Standard Koth, no Ancient?
