For those of you following this thread instead of the other one.
While I understand why Jon might have initially thought
about not giving out prizes to folks who win by forfeit ... he quickly
saw the flaw and corrected it.
So --- Jon is still into this for the 50,000 credit first prize.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of many players we are reducing
the donation list. I've worked with Jon to reduce the prizes donated
either in 1/2 or by 1/3rd . In order to get 30 sleeves and 12K
credits the current donation list will look like this. (as opposed to
the list above).
As promised --- the 12 players who make the sweet 16 .. and do NOT
advance to the final 4 will get 1,000 credits each. The 3 layers who
make the final 4 but do NOT win get 10 sleeves each. The winner gets
50,000 credits ...
As anyone who may have run a large community tournament .. these are a
pain in the butt to do. So far I think the kids doing a nice job
mediating it. It's been pretty painless.
Anyway hope this helps.
