It finally started
I guess it is 37 groups of 12 and one group of 11, so at the least 38 players go on to round two.

My group:
1.crusoe
2.abigham
3.Zipdrive Nightmare
4.RBHILL
5.beermaestro
6.I Diddy
7.jose teixeira
8.marcof2
9.johnjava21
10.WIZ
11.toffee
12.Taqju

300-500 entrants requires groupsize 8
LOL 455 players and groups of 12.

Personally my hope is ppl play these games fast (which seems to be what is happening) and Russ allows the top 2 to advance. It seems kinda rediculous to have a 455 player tournament go down to a 35 or so person tournament in just one round. I know there's only so much time left a year, but that chucks a lot of ppl out of the biggest tourney of the year very quickly and respectively they hardly get a chance. For most ppl, the 2005 championship is merely the "January championship" at this rate. Of course, in the event of a 2 way tie for first in a group, the second place wildcard is discarded for that group.

Gets my rec. I didn't think the groups had to be this large. 7-8 would have worked out perfectly. So allowing 1st and 2nd through to the second round would compensate and keep the interest and enthusiam going for longer.

I hope they allow at least 2 into the next round. 4 would be nice. If you have a couple of bad games it could be finished for you. I think it would be nice to have this tournament run for most of the year if possible.

No doubt at least 2, you could even make a good argument for 3 or 4.

I suspect all my games will be over in the next week or so, although some may go for months yet !?!

Looking at some of the other groups I think I got off lightly in the draw ! Having said that, I suspect I still won't make it through :-)
