maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted January 16 I'm taking some time off most things from mid-Feb to early March so wouldn't be able to turn in a team at that point. Might take part in 2025. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,236 Posted January 20 Last day to sign up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,236 Posted January 21 Alright, let's see how this goes... 42 competitors have signed up, so the first round will consist of 10 match-ups to get down to a full roster of 32. The 20 highest-seeded players (or is that lowest-seeded?) will face off, i.e. those from no. 25 to 45 (with Pop_Zeus sitting out). So the list randomizer of random.org gives me this: Gooseberry Crumble (26) Famous6eva (42) GuyFromFuture (28) Liz Lemon (25) CalebH (29) Bibliogryphon (34) livingbygrace (new - 43) Therewillbedeaths7 (35) Dying Probably (37) max bossetti (new - 44) Wormfarmer (41) Thatcher (new - 45) Yorkshire Banker (27) DeathByArsenic (39) The Immortal (38) justonecornetto (36) GreatUncleBulgaria (40) MortalCaso (33) theoldlady (32) BabyBlue (30) I interpret this as: Gooseberry Crumble vs. Famous6eva GuyFromFuture vs. Liz Lemon CalebH vs. Bibliogryphon livingbygrace vs. Therewillbedeaths7 Dying Probably vs. max bossetti Wormfarmer vs. Thatcher Yorkshire Banker vs. DeathByArsenic The Immortal vs. justonecornetto GreatUncleBulgaria vs. MortalCaso theoldlady vs BabyBlue 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,236 Posted January 21 I think I've cleaned up my inbox enough - team submissions are open. Good luck! Also, for the next round, I think I want to draw the whole bracket for the rest of the competition at once. I'm looking at: https://challonge.com/de/tournaments/bracket_generator.html, for example. Don't forget to pick a joker! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s always a difficult excuse to make isn’t it when you’re in hospital with an ill relative - sorry I’ll need to spend a few hours away from the hospital today as I’ve got to pick 11 really ill hospitalised people with a modicum of notability who might die in the next month. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted February 1 *In the voice of Abe Simpson* Where are the matches at for us poor spectators? Back in my day teams were revealed right at midnight and now we have to wait over 18 hours for a team reveal? What is this, Jokers Pool?

gcreptile 10,236 Posted February 1 I got back from work, about 50 minutes ago. Now I'll go to the swimming pool... I will allow Great Uncle Bulgaria's team. There doesn't seem to be any unfair advantage gained, and there've been some (hopefully) unique circumstances. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
