    Not sure Icon has that ability Woodo.

    Don't want to criticize you guys .. you are running a great very nice tournament.   Just a suggestion.    If  & When Shoe comes back with the link ... is there a way for you to post both the week 6 and 7 links at the same time and give the players until say next weekend to play both rounds ?   Or is there something magic about doing 1 round each week.   

    For that matter ... in round 2 ... I would love to see all the links posted at the same time - and give the 32 players who make it 2 weeks to play all 7 rounds.   Heck most of those players play more than 7 rounds each day.   Then maybe you can finish the tourney by Christmas instead of sometime in February.  Again unless I'm missing something about giving folks 7 days to play 9 holes.

    Only suggesting - after a while any tournament loses steam.   For example with this one - again which I think is great --- 128 folks signed up.  Round 1 = 126 players, Round 2 = 120, Round 3 = 113, Rounds 4 & 5 = 107.  

    Just a thought.   And thanks for running this.

    Totally agree with lvietri--First, yes this is a well run Tourney--but some players who are out of the running for Stage 2 seem to have lost interest.

    Why should they play? Simple--their NOT playing affects the field eg-2 players are tied for 2nd place-Player A has a tough opponent and "draws" for 1 pt. . Player B gets 3 pts because his/her opponent is a "no show".

    Player B advances-(I'm sure everyone has figured this out) LOL

    So if in Stage 2, all LINKS were posted, it would be more of an incentive for all to complete their rounds. 

    Again, only a suggestion-to keep things moving.

    Thanks for the thoughts LV and Lisa,As i said earlier positive input will be duly noted.The long tournament format was something that's been asked for in the forums for a while. It was expected that a few would lose interest once they felt they had no chance of progressing to Stage 2.( I even offered a couple of sleeves to a random player for completing all possible matches) Hopefully the calibre of player in stage 2 also represents the attitude towards the tourny, and that all matches will be completed......here's hoping.But i guess we cant expect 100% commitment 100% of the time.....or put another way  "you cant please everyone".

    Happy hitting

    Totally agree with the middlepart of your post Lisa,because after the WD in round 3 i think it was,i was going to throw in the towel but like you pointed out it wouldn't be fair to the other players in my group.
