I'm interested, but I'd probably be one of the weakest players.

Sounds interesting, so why not?

Works for me... why not. Can only benefit me since my ladder rating is stagnating.

I would play

I'll play.

ive only played 42 games, but im interested

42!

My 1 v 1 percentage is way under 50%, but if that's not a problem (I mostly don't shy from any matchups, but draw your own conclusions), I'd be thrilled to join.

Okay, got everyone on the list. Looks like we're going to have 2 divisions of around 10 each. top 4 of each of those goes to a mutual playoff.

tuesday, 20th is still the start date, although invites might start to go out early. (just in case there are declines, I can shuffle things to make the divisions even.)

Oh and grand prize for the first season is a coupon that can be redeemed for a seven minute make-out session with the hobo of your choice.*



*not true

I will play

I'm interested in playing too. But what the heck does RR stand for?

JRM - RR = Round Robin.

Everyone plays one another once.

if i'm not to late i would like to join

if there are still available places I would like to join

I might join in next time around. Right now I'm struggling to find the time to keep up with my games as it is, but this didn't sound like a one-time kind of thing.

I'd love to play. Please put me on the list

oops, just realized I've only finished 45 games. But I have no boots and a good win percentage... can I please play with the cool kids, pleeeeeeease? =)

Okay, invites have gone out. Signup will continue until wednesday. If I missed you and you didn't receive an invite let me know.

A quick word on how I divided the two divisions:I made a list of all the players sorted them in order of 1v1 win percentage and then just went 1 2 1 2 1 2.... down the list. Hardly an accurate measure of skill but it seemed as good a way as any to divide us up. Most importantly its impartial and I had as little to do with it as possible.

Anyone signing up after now I'll simply place in whichever division needs a player to even things out.

Also if I made a mistake on the tournament settings or anything else, now is the time to shout "Stop, you hideous fool!" but I think we should be good to go.

And so it's begun.
I look forward to playing against you all!

I'd like to play if there's still room.
