Organizing TUGS

[GrooveMan.exe]

The whole of TUGS ends on the 10th of August.
It doesn't sound long, but that's about four days per round, and a day to judge and organize the forums per round!

N-no. That's too short. Last time around we needed a week per round; and it showed.

And for what it's worth, having tiers isn't particularly insulting. I want to participate, and compete against other people of my own skill level. It means that I'd be more likely to go for multiple rounds. Being paired against a pro would mean I get to play for one round, and it wouldn't be as much fun because I'd be horribly outstripped, and they'd be bored with who they're up against.

If you're scared of high-level players going out early, have the judges score a group of entries based on points, and the person with the lowest points is dropped. If you're only rooting for two people (which is kinda dickish, but whatever); then they technically can't 'lose to a nobody'.

Edit: So we have 3 groups of 25, and I don't know how many rounds - with each round knocking out 1-5 people. Or shit, why not ditch the idea of knockouts entirely, and have a consistent tally through all rounds, witrh the highest score in each bracket being the winner. That method in fact guarantees that high-level or rival entrants will be competing; and that the tournament will finish unless every single entrant drops out.
