It's up to you whether or not you to change it. I personally would rather go by a regular bracket system.

I also wouldn't allow those who ask late to sign up. (They had plenty of time.) tell them to wait till the next tourney.

Others involved in this tourney should speak up.

Wint, you should set a 10 days limit for the tournament (3-4 days for the first stage/2-3 for the second/ 2 for the 3rd...depending on the number of campaigners...and 1 day for the final).

If one doesn’t show up -lose by default and the opponent-advance to the next level.

i think none of the uplined reasons matetr at all.

my only problem wasnt a rule, a laddersystem orsth like that...
I had only problems in meeting my opponent...
(cuz o' time zones i think...

that clan/club idea sounds megasweet, I just don't think you can find anyone suicidal enough to take on LCC.

sounds great
