Yes - I do want people who participated / dropped out / others to comment on how this has been run. Thanks for kicking it off, Cloud No.9.
Things to discuss:
- format: Switch to single elimination? The reason I didn't do this is because I wanted everyone to have a chance to play more matches. However, a lot of people dropped out, resulting in a nightmare of byes and whatnots. Single elim would make things a lot easier, but then again, it's dependent on having a 2^n number of people. Or double elimination? I don't even know how that works.
- frequency: I agree that it shouldn't be too often, like C9 stated. Quarterly might be a good frequency, or biannually like the Ciddies and Screen Name tournaments and other such regular events.
- timezones: In the beginning, we had some issues with people being in different time zones (Cbc and C9 come to mind). Perhaps having divisions or brackets with people from the same time zone are in order? And then in the final sets of matches, there would be far less matches to worry about lining up? Or should we just ban every other nation?
- others: Feel free to add.
