Thank You, denominator! [Winner: hun1]

Thank You, denominator!

To a tournament organiser, a positive comment about an update that took forever to finish makes it all worth. A nice and original sign up can bring a smile on the face. Knowledge that somebody appreciates the work put into colourful scoreboards gives a warm feeling. Sometimes a simple thanks for a well ran tournament can mean so much after a gloomy day. For all the positive comments I've received during my tournament organising "career" I'd like to give something back to the players who have stood out to me as people who really enjoy tournaments and have given something positive back to the organisers. You, the players, probably don't get this too often so here's something that I really want to say. Thank you!

[player]Denominator[/player] is the kind of guy who seems to care what's going on in the tournament world. He is the player who is invested in the tournaments he plays in and more importantly, when there's a discussion about future of the tournaments then you can be sure that Den is around to give his insight and make suggestions to turn things to better

I really have 2 sets of favourites, one for 1v1 games and 1 for multiplayer games. Actually, now that I look at it, they're quite similar. I had a hard time choosing between escalating and no spoils, but ultimately I enjoy the slower pace of no spoils. I picked random because I like every map on CC and there isn't one in particular that I like better than the others (for non-1v1 games, that is).

1v1 games: Australia, Standard, Automatic, No Spoils, Adjacent, No Fog.
8-player game: Random Map, 8-player, Standard, Automatic, No Spoils, Adjacent, Fog.

2 games will be played at once most of the time, freemiums welcome.

Setup
It's a 64-player tournament with 2 rounds - qualifying and finals (all games are casual).
In qualifying round players will be assigned according to points into brackets (8 players per bracket). Best-of-3 series will be played and the winner of each bracket advances to finals where 1 8-player game will be played. Winner of that game is declared winner of the tournament.

My expectations of players signing up

1. Positive attitude!
2. No whining!
3. Great sportsmanship!
4. Understanding that final game might be a very long game.

[barterer2002]

Certainly a terrific tournament player who I'm always happy when he joins one of mine. I'm trying hard to cut down since I'll be gone during July and I also hate Australia but for denominator, I'm in.

[denominator]

This is awesome, zz!

Understanding that final game might be a very long game.

That's my favourite line of the whole thing. I'm sure when you read my PM you cursed me for picking No Spoils over Escalating!

I'll certainly play in this!

Glad to have you!

I don't mind the settings, I'm glad that you picked the one that you like the most Lets just hope that they won't scare away too many people, you've picked some really crazy settings

Lol, it's nice to see how you notice those things
I'm in, just because I'd just like to thank him for not being a numerator

I really don't know what either numerator or denominator mean but hey, Den sounds cooler than Num so I guess lets thank him for that also
Also, need to walk with eyes opened, otherwise a lot of great things might stay unnoticed.


Everybody up to this point added!
