Thoughts on tournaments

well, the basic audio earlier in the year had 16, with 8 no shows in the first round. i think it's good to be hopeful, but i think aiming for 32 is the goal. at least that way if half of them no show, it's still 16.

i also think something needs to be done about no shows, because they really wind up hurting the whole tournament. if you had 4 quality guys no show round 1, then the whole tournament looks so much weaker.

tournaments are supposed to represent the best of the best, and competitiveness.

Yes... The quality of the sites battlers always fluctuate from year to year. Each year, you will have a different level of skill on the site, the best of that year/time period of the site should not be "punished" by not having their chance at tournaments because they don't live up to a time of the site that has been and gone.
