    Hey Shugo, that game looks good:). Think Buzzsaw may play he nominated since it nominated it for Best Game of the Month. Are you going to try it? Would love a great game for Ogre Game Time:).

    One week left to sign up. 5 of 8, need 3 more. :)

    Also gonna put forward as an alternative. Going with 5 is not going to work in the current setup, too many bye weeks etc. So if we don't get anymore players I propose we switch to this style of Tournament:

    Round 1

    Fox
    Ufbre - Polan
    Narubian - Hawk

    Each round names move clockwise one position, like so:

    Round 2

    Ufbre
    Narubian - Fox
    Hawk - Polan

    Ufbre is the extra person in this case and would get a bye week.

    Matches would be best of 3 with all the same rules as the current Tournament. You are eliminated when you lose 3 rounds, note rounds not matches.

    This alternative seems to be a league with elimination, where everyone would get to play everyone else. I do think it could work but it should also be worked on slightly more.
    For example, what happens if after round 3, 2 players get eliminated, they're both out at the same round, but which one of them takes 4th place and which one takes 5th?

    Second issue is, assuming one name gets eliminated and 4 remain, if we continue with clockwise system, person 1 will always alternate between playing against person 2 or 3, it will never meet person 4. Would we still keep the system once the number of players is 4, or would we just switch to cup style elimination at that point?

    We can do league with points where we pick one and then that one person plays with other 4 in interval of 3 days then we pick other person and he also plays with other 4 in the same interval and so on.
    Each battle can be either one or two games (no need for 3 games cause you will meet one person more than once).
    Points would be:
    Win = 2
    Draw = 1
    Lose = 0

    At the end we will sum up the points and see who is on which place. That way we will ALL stay active during the tournament and no one will drop out at early stage thus encouraging him to participate in the next one as well.

    I know there are some flaws in this idea but i think with few fixes it would be cool :)

    Tie for 4th, just like the tie that happens in the current format.

    I'm confused as to why that is an issue? It's working as intended, if it did come to 4 I don't think it's even possible... or at least very unlikely for it to stay at 4 for more than 2 rounds, players wouldn't meet the 4th player anyways.

    In current format, tie happens for 3rd, so 3rd and 4th get the same prizes, but if 4th and 5th have a tie, and only one can get a prize, there's an issue that needs to be looked in

    As for the 2nd issue, I'm pretty sure you have a point, I didn't do the math myself but yeah it's highly unlikely this situation occurs, so it's not like it's a big issue, just a minor one and probably something that won't happen anyway :)

    If it helps I will step out of the tournament so there is no complications.
