sorry we are dragging but this idea won't work without cooperation.
I have to have 64 owners to play this.

As close as we are I am wondering if this is going to work.
This depends of people being active and playing their games, being able to sitemail each other and set up playing times.

Can't even get some who signed up to check in here?

If 64 is too tough then I think you could cut it to 32 teams. Didnt we play a tournament that was a bunch of best of 3's earlier? Those seemed to match up well.

How about setting it up for 64 teams, but if some teams get a first round bye, then that's the way it works. maybe it will fill up in the mean time?

We gotta get this thing going soon before we lose complete interest. Instead of waiting for the 64 teams to fill again, set it up with buys for a few teams. Then the first 6 or 8 teams that lose can enter a second team within the pre set time period and fill out the 64 team bracket.

This way it gives the eager beavers a second chance. Just let the losers pick a second team in the order they lose/enter.

Almost guaranteed if you set up the brackets, owners will fill this thing up.

I am planning on setting this up tonight

We will give it a shot

OK sequence has been generated
We have 57 owners signed up.
I will be sitemailing everyone soon to set up team selection.

still need 6

a sitemail will go out tomorrow to start team selection

I hope I have the last pick, that way I can blame my one and done on that... also I think we need the final rules reafirmed when its time to pick.

sitemails have gone out to everyone.

soxyanks12 can start it off any time.

I never got that sitemail.

There goes my #1 team.

Well that makes me feel better because I must have looked at teams for two hours and was switching back and forth between a few of them. Was some fun research.
