Hmm, having big league tournament with divisions, like national football championships might be a good idea.

yes i'd like the league idea, i know that if i draw tiger i'm like oh well, that's a loss for me

Not sure wether would be better to half it or have lots of little 20 player leagues

Leagues with promotion/relegation can work very well. However for them to work well you need people to commit for a long period of time. The reliability of people who enter tourneys is not always brilliant.

ie. Only 54 of the 89 original entrants are left in the Swiss - and of those who pulled out only a handful bothered to tell us they were going to.

There will be a couple of new tournaments announced in the near future. One that will definitely happen is a knockout for the top 8 players from the current swiss - or at least the top 8 who want to play.

Each matchup will consist of a pair of battles on least turns rule.

Hmm...

And AFAIK Swiss system groups players with same score into same division.

What is the cut off for getting the replays in to the moderators? I sent them yesterday but I still have the games going. I know that the games will persist but I am just wondering if there will be any more time given for these games.

P.S. when will the final standings be ready? You guys (mods) must be busy right now. I am not rushing, just curious

I hope to post final standings tomorrow.

I'd like to thank the moderators (MWigor, Tiger and whoever else was involved) who ran the tournament. I must say that I really enjoyed it.

[hat tipped] very well done [/hat tipped]

I don't plan to finish tournament battles after end of tournament.
You can continue it as friendly battle.

I think that this is final score but not standings. According to rules

players with equal score should be sorted by a) and b) but now they are sorted by initial place.

Congratulations to the winners:
Rocklizard
Norat
Smilodon
and Rosehead (Best Improver)

As there were no ties for significant places I thought I would save myself some work!
