Heck, an under-populated tourney might be motivating to people... (you mean I only have to beat X other warlocks, and I get this shiney trophy on my page... Granted, that could result in "champion inflation" (well whoop-dee-doo, you were '08 champ. Only 3 warlocks didn't force turn to victory in round one... ) On the other hand, if you think it's going to be too easy, you should have stepped up and put the rest of us in our place. On the other hand... wait a second, I'm out of hands. Enough flip flopping. I think the tourney should happen.

maybe use a less grandiose title than we have in the past. "general warlocks tourney" ending up with 16 players doesn't sound bad. "world championships" or whatnot with 16 players sounds bad.

succat There is no sense in starting games before September. We might open registration in the middle of August, as it was last year.

"ULTIMATE WORLD CHAMPION" ?! But why would anyone want my dusty old title?

If there is a tourney, I'm obviously in. But I don't feel a desperate need to have one. And that's not just because I'm afraid of losing my title. Although I'm still curious what happened with the Fantasy Team side event from last year's tourney. Slartucker never announced the results.

Also, if I remember correctly, the tourney can get drawn out at times... so the sonner the better to start. Gives us more time to progress through the rounds. Plus we'll need some time to get the word out, and allow those retired people time to shake off the rust.

it's on my list, but I've been sucked into my 24/7 job. depending on where I end up living and working in sept, I may or may not be un-sucked then.
