I've been looking forward to playing in one of these tournaments! I just hope that I make the cut since this would be my first IsoDom tournament and I'm mostly a forum lurker. I usually float between level 30-32 so I have that going for me at least.

Just a reminder, sign-ups are open for another 2 days. I am entertaining the possibility of running two groups of 28 if there are enough people.

I think it's about time I entered another tournament, although my play has gotten very sloppy lately.

I'll sign up! First tournament for me.

I'm curious about why 28 people was the amount chosen. Split that into 4 divisions, and you get 7 people per division. This will cause each player to have a bye week if I'm understanding the format correctly. Wouldn't it make more sense to have an even number of people per division or was the bye week included on purpose?

What would determine the groups?
Would the final then be between the top 2 from each group or would each group have their own tournament in its entirety?

(I know the skill has been decided as a group factor and I am opposed to that for reasons including my preference to the actual physical game [thus I dont play on iso that much] but many tournaments that do groupings by skill have the top player of the bottom division play the top player from the top division in the finals)

Another alternative I could see would be to start it off as a 56 tournament and create a winner and losers bracket based on the first week.

As one who might not make the cut for playing, we all need to realize that this is Mean Mr. Mustard's Tournament. He is organizing it and he can do what he wants with it--that isn't saying that people on here have been rude or anything, mostly everyone has been very polite with their suggestions.

That said, if MMM decided to have 28 players for a reason and it is up to him to change it. If he decides not to there isn't anything stopping others from starting their own tournaments.

Mostly what I am saying is that we shouldn't expect MMM to cater to all of us. We can start our own tournaments if we feel left out.

I agree, which is why I volunteered earlier to help run a B division if MMM is OK with it. We're currently at 52(?) signups, so having enough for a separate division is very, very likely.

I suspect the reasoning behind 28 as opposed to 32 is two-fold: First, it shortens things by a week; second, it makes a tie in the pools (slightly) less likely.

I would love to play.

Just started playing Dominion in December, but slowly building my level (currently 23 - and last 3 day "average win points" is 1.29 vs. 1.11 lifetime).

Time zone: GMT-8 (Seattle - Pacific Time)
Country: USA (but from Canada)

Thanks for organizing,

I hope I wasn't taken the wrong way. Mean Mr. Mustard is already very generous with his time on these tournaments and my suggestion wasn't trying to demand for him specifically to do anything.

If MMM (very understandably) doesn't want to simultaneously run two tournaments I would also be willing to help you with the lower bracket. I wonder (hope?) though: are the people that signed up signing up only if they get in MMM's bracket, or would they all be willing to be in the lower one? (I personally would play in either, though at 38 I think its relatively likely i'll sneak into the upper bracket)

I certainly didn't take it as you demanding anything.

And I'd be highly surprised if people weren't willing to play in a second bracket.
