Reason I ask is that Im a noob, but also that Im excited by being in the tourney as well as it going surprisingly well. - Okay, I realize that with the tournament setup and the number of players its not going to be an exactly rare occurance that someone goes 3-0, but still, Im tingling to find out how many are in that, and indeed how many first time tourney players and for that matter freemiums are in the mix. And my third game finishing, Id of course be interested to learn how many players that still have games to finish.

Im winning my third game in the next few rounds. I suppose I should wait registering it until I have actually won it, but barring actual IRL mayhem, I shouldnt even be able to jinx it at this point;-) I will wait for the kill before doing so, but I love statistics, so that will do wonders for keeping me entertained the next couple of weeks.- Is there a place a freemium noob like me can go look for them?

Regards on a most excellent tourney and great initiative, even if it does last 2 years. I will certainly be here until someone(s) grind my nose, face and bones into (the) dust

If you only have to win 1 out of 3 games, seems everyone can move on since that's less than 50%.
Is the 2nd round going to be different? You may have already written this in the rules so I'll look, just wondering cause it seems everyone could stay in forever if you only have to win 1 out of 3.

With this amount of people--the evolution of the tourney will most likely move to only two games allowed until we get under 200 players or every other round--but this will not occur until round 4 or 6 --most likely six as I want to get most of the GA Medals out of the way. No matter what we end up doing I have to expect this tourney will last 2 years so be ready to be in it for the long haul.

So 1/3 puts me through to the second round! Had a chance to win all three but was really unlucky in the other two.

I realize that it will speed up the tournament, but those were the rules when we all signed up and everybody knows (or should know) that the tournament will go on for a long time. I don't think such a drastic change to the rules mid-way through the tournament is fair to the players (it certainly would be more helpful to the more experienced 1v1 players than the less experienced).

I also did away with the second chance games. That being said--I know I will be around for the next 2-5 years and if the players want to stay with three games per round and just keep it the way it was meant I have no problem keeping it that way. So, I will play it by ear but I would like to hear from people in the thread and not the pm how they feel about a reduction in the games you are allowed to play from 3 to 2 in even rounds or just keep it the same. Maybe in round three I will do a poll. No matter what if I do change you will be given fair warning.

I agree. It's not fair to change rules halfway. Rules should stay as they were when we joined.
