    it would have to be fairly big as i reckon quite a few people would want to join it, so suggest no limit on number of players so everybody who does want in, can be

    i think 1000 players min and 1000 plyers max is the obvious.

    to get this we need to let subs and nonsubs play ...

    an advertising coup....

    i would suggest 0/20 as the time limit ... with groupsize 11 ...

    11*11*11 = 1331, so it would probably be 3 rounds, with 10 opponents each round.

    6*6*6*6 = 1296, so it would probably be 4 rounds.
    I like 3/34 cause I don`t play on weekends...

    i know wht you mean ... but i changed my mind on my preference for a reason ...

    if it is a 2/34 or 3/34 tournament then it will take a long long time for round 1 .

    the nonsubs will not be able to start any more games ... they willl become bored and leave the site ...

    it needs to be a fast round 1 ... so they get back into the action ... and so it must be zero timeout. (even 1/0 will be slower in round 1 than 0/20)

    maybe it should even be 0/15

    Tournaments that didn't have enough people entered to start are eventually deleted.

    I think you are wrong Freddie.
    "Eventually deleted" would suggest that these tournies were hanging around I didn't see any tournies with these numbers about 10 days ago.

    You didn't see them a) Because they were removed more than three days ago (more like three weeks) and b) because they wouldn't have been on page 1.

    Hmmmmm, not that I am much disappointed, but I somehow expected it to be a bit more 'uncommon'. By the way, since some tournament are deleted, this one isn't actually the 1000th. Bet that will be tournament 1023 or something.
