Please let me know ASAP if you would be willing to participate in TOPANDA 2 if it were to start in October. It looks like I’m going to be running this show.
Also, I welcome opinions on how player selection should be done. My current thinking: TOPANDA should always be 12 players, 2/3 “old blood” and 1/3 “new blood,” meaning players who do not qualify for top 8 are barred from entry in the next event UNLESS there are vacancies created by qualifying players who are unable to attend. Then these players are invited back in order of how well they performed in the prior event.
I’m personally pretty attached to this line of thinking, but if the community overwhelmingly disagrees, I would be willing to budge on it. Maybe!
I think we have to start in October in order to get the tournament over with in Jan or early Feb 2017 (I don’t want it to go any longer than that). I would be willing to extend some leeway in scheduling, however.
ntillerman says that he’ll only compete in your tournament if you give his good friend Redless 100$. And that if you don’t you’re not his friend anymore.
He also might say something else, he hasn’t replied much besides asking for you to give me moeny.
