Just wondering, 1st rounds in some tourns take ages don't they. Mainly due to alot of competitors, I think you should have to be a certain rank to join a tournament. It tends to be the same people in each of the later stages anyway. Also this would decrease people winning tournaments who "don't deserve it" as some people say. My opinion is the do deserve it as they won it. Basicaly my point is: All members can enter a tournament without playing any games first. Just a point to ponder admin, get back to us when you can.
Regards, a few professionals...

Thats a tournament for you, if your not prepared to wait don't join!

I'm prepared to wait andy, It was signed clearly by a few pro's not just myself...

also: for the size of the christmas isles and the sandwich isles. There are a hell of alot of players from funky who live there....

maybe if your rank is above a certain amount, you should get a bye 1st round, only when there is about 75+ people.

The whole point of the Tournament is to have games played on a random basis. This way some players will get to play people that they might not usually (or ever) get to play.

This way i think is more thrilling than knowing you are going to get a certain rank in your next game.

You also lay ground for 'David and Goliath' games. Some people like to be the underdog!

yep, it is fine as it is.
