Organizing TUGS

[megaMasquerain]

I'm actually not insulted at all by being not an Expert (or intermediate, if it ends up that way). I really like the idea of having brackets (which will most likely be fair, because we have 9 friggin' judges). I figure there will be a lot less butthurt if I (or anyone else, just using me as an example) get paired up against someone on my level every time then if I get paired with a professional, 12-years-of-experience artist.

Chris is just protecting his own ass (and the collective ass of the forums) here. Imagine the shitstorm if someone who was new to the forums and pixels got paired up with Elk first round!

If you (or anyone else) is pissed that it really isn't "The Ultimate Great Spriter" or whatever, just give the other two brackets different titles for the winner. Problem solved.
