I don't mind. I just want to play.

mrkoontz PM'd me, so he's around too.

Play today.

Did not know people could get a second shot. I think you should do that. Take the first round eliminated people and put them in a hat, and draw to see who gets a second chance. Either that, or there were alternates right?

Yes, there were alternates, but none of them have logged in in weeks, so getting in touch wth them seems kinda pointless. I posted in the main HUC thread asking about hat to do, suggesting giving people a second shot (drawing names), etc.... no one replied that they were interested.

Apparently I forgot to add this match to the list:
nutbag vs. eejit101

eejit has been gone for the entire contest so far, so I'm forfeitting him. nutbag - it's up to you. You can just move on to Round 2 if you want, or else you can play me (or anyone else who speaks up and wants to play you), so long as the match happens tonight or tomorrow.

Penguinfan and bdawg played today, and MathBabe and junYUN will be playing tomorrow. So that only leaves:
lightfungus vs. drewjax
sjay2k vs. mrkoontz
Hopefully both matches will happen in the next 24 hours or so... Otherwise, I think I've decided the best thing to do is just forfeit everyone (baring one of those participants convincing us he deserves to move on) and I'll play the Round 2 opponents myself. That way, I'm relying on myself only, and with my money on the line here, I'll make the time to get these matches in. With that said, I'm going out of town for the weekend on Thursday afternoon sometime, but I'll be sure to keep all of Wednesday open for my potential opponents.

Here's hoping these guys play their matches tonight or tomorrow.

How does all this affect the bracket pool?

Talking Poker · #7 10-24-05, 09:23 PM

Forfeits = losses, I guess. Replacement players wins get points for the people they are replacing.

If an entire match is cancelled, no one gets points for it.

That's the only fair thing I can think of. If people are really against this and would rather extend the rounds indefinitely, that's ok with me too... I just figure that it's not fair to the guys who have played to have to wait around any longer for their Round 2 opponents.
