I agree, VERY nice prize pool....
There are (2) 3rd place finishers and (4) 4th place finishers, right?

Um, no.

And I guess I should have spelled this out. First and second will be obvious (final match players), but to determine between 3rd and 4th place, the LOSERS to the semi-finals (the guys from the Final 4 who don't go on to the finals) will have to play each other. I also suggest a Best of 5 series for that, but I'll leave it up to them.... If they only want to play 1 match (it's only a $5 difference), so be it.

Ditto -- we need to get TP somethin for his birthday

[Gordogg]

Thank you , TP. You rock!!

[PShabi]

Thanks TP.

But I'm skeptical about best of 3 and best of 5 series. I would've just went one and done. MAYBE, best of 3 for the final or semis.

I don't know though. It'll probably be fine.

Either way, thanks for putting so much into this.

You guys don't need to thank me until you win

As for the Best of 3 thing, I too would have preferred single matches, but most people wanted at least a Best of 3 format, so this was the compromise I came up with. There are 31 matches total. Of those, 24 will be single tourneys, six will be Best of 3 (to determine who gets in the money) and one will be Best of 5 (the championship). I think that's reasonable.
