    What is the deadline to get your 1st round match played? I know you mention "try" by Sunday  the 12th, but I think we definitely need some deadlines for sure.

    Just a thought...but what if we get to the point someone has spent the credits earned and cannot play?  I could see a player getting a bye, but would not be fair to said player to dig into thier own pocket to continue.

    Good thought, also... I see that the winner takes all, so it doesnt matter how far I advance on rounds. If Im not the winner I lose!

    I dont know, but may be it will be nice to keep some earning while we advance trough rounds. For example... next round entry fee is half earnings.

    R1 entry fee 100cr - Eranings=200cr If I lose here, I have nothing)

    R2 entry fee 100cr - earnings= 400 (if I lose here I keep 100cr earnings)

    R3 entry fee 200cr - Earnings = 800 (if I lose here I keep  200cr earnings)

    R4 entry fee 400cr- Earnings =1600 (if I lose here I keep 400cr earnings)

    ...ETC...

    Just finished a great match with Woodoworkery. Not at any point during the game did either of us have more than a 1up lead. I finally got the win on the 2nd extra hole.

    If your opponent wants to add 100 credits to the match, i.e 2nd round will be for 222, so if you both decide to play for 333, there's 100 for your own pocket, but as it said, its meant to be winner takes all!

    If some one has spent the credits they've won from some one they've beaten in this tournament and havn't the credits to continue, then that person will be disqualified, his opponent can go through to next round, and i'll forfeit the $$ extra needed to the person who's had the bye to the next round's draw.  (but if this is happening regular, people thinking, "ahh, we can keep our credits that we've won in round 3 as it wont matter because my opponent wil get his credits added to any way" then tournament will have to stop as i'm counting on peoples honesty to carry credits through to next round. 1 or 2, fine if there's a genuine reason that match can't be played, but people thinking that they can stop after say winning $8 and not risking continuing, remember, its other peoples' credits too, and you will be spoiling it all for the rest of the competitiors, and you entered the tournament knowing it was winner takes all, and remember, you've only staked a $1, the rest is other people's credits that you've won, and we need the credits to give every one a decent tournament!

    To be honest chris it didn,t even cross my mind that someone would do that & i,m sure they wont, there is a few dickheads on this site but from what ive seen very few. So out of the 32 in this tourney im pretty sure nobody will sink that low ! After all there will be another 31 players naming & shaming them not to mention all the other players in the game ! Is it really worth the few credits ? I doubt it very much mate ! keep up the good work . smokey.
