    Hmmm, what does everybody think about an eight game Showdown instead of sixteen?

    It would make the showdown faster, though I'm not sure if that's good or bad. It would make the showdown faster to start which is good but it might leave out some good games in the showdown. It doesn't really matter for me if it's 8 or 16 games as long as it will be good :p

    In that case, perhaps you could make a 12 game showdown, with 8 games competing in the first round and 4 others (favorites) joining them in the second round. Would be faster than 16 games showdown, and would leave out less good games than 8 games showdown

    Hmmmm, maybe:). Are there strong enough shooters to warrant the twelve?

    I think the last winner should proceed at least. Or we could just make a poll where you nominate shooters. Top 12 makes it to the showdown and top 4 advances to the next round.

    I agree, and in case there's less than 12 but more than 8, top 8 make it to the showdown

    I could create the thread but someone would have to add the poll after the nominations are done. Because only mods of a forum can add a poll after the thread is started?

    Only the person that creates the thread (Mod or Not) can add a poll to it, with the exception of Ogreman. A poll can be added after a thread is started by the thread creator. :)

    Nope, however he joined very shortly after you left so he'd seem new to you. :)
