Will byes be getting replaced with subs? Sorry if I sound clueless, but I'd like to play and I'm not sure how this tournament works.

We're sticking to a 48-man bracket now, but there's always a possibility some players will drop. Rules and information here if you need it. And nice to see you here! <3

I don't really see the point of keeping it 48 man when you have so many byes but I'm cool with that, I'm sure some people will be inactive.

Well I don't think it'd be fair to anyone to lose their Bye and then get a rough R1.
But no worries though, there are bound to be some players dropping so stick around.

Good stuff getting some sets done guys! Nothing too out of the ordinary yet, but we're still in the infancy of the tournament. =) So now we've got: Tamahome vs Zilch Best 3 of 5 M Dragon vs Dexter Best 3 of 5 and Jorgen vs ENZ0 Best 3 of 5 as well as the other matches we already have. All three of those look good though! =D how did people know I was SILVER ?_? Magic! ;>

I was on Global Casino around 5 hours yesterday and 7 today. I can't do more, my opponent must answer my PM to choose a time to play.

Just a heads up, Tiba and I probably won't be playing until the end of this week, because he told me he'd pm me mid week with times he's available, so I'm assuming we'll play at the end of the week. I'm pretty flexible and free pretty much whenever, so that should help.

Icy, I'm not so sure about beating Earthworm. He's one of those big names I'm afraid of. I am also not sure what my losers bracket would look like if I beat Earthworm. There is a serious possibility I could be eliminated sooner if I beat Earthworm than if I lose to him. I'm going to go check this now.

I take that back. If I beat Earthworm and then lose the next battle I have a decent chance at running through Losers Bracket to 9th place, maybe even 7th.
If I beat Earthworm and then win the next battle too(this is possible) I will lose the one after and, due to the way Losers Bracket is set up, I will be practically guaranteed a 9th place spot.
All of this is assuming I win against everyone who is below me or near me in skill level. Even a small amoount of bad luck could take me out early. But I can hope. ^_^

I'm pretty flexible and free pretty much whenever, so that should help. That's fine, so long as you two actually do go through with that. @garrin, you may "technically" be eliminated earlier if you beat him (losing next two sets straight as opposed to running train through Losers'), but you'll rank higher. Because of how Losers' Bracket refills constantly while Winners' Bracket empties out in double elimination tournaments, players skip rounds in Winners' Bracket. And don't worry man, you got this! =)

I haven't seen Manu on NBS and he hasn't been logged in for 11 days. If he somehow sees this, I'll be gone until Sunday.

I can't find user Charlie in the members list, so haven't PM'ed him yet to arrange a time to play. Does anyone know if he goes by a different name/frequents a different forum?

He's on NBS all the time. Also PM Brookman as they are neighbors. But Charlie has some weird trouble registering for our forum, despite attempting multiple email providers.

I PMed my opponent the first day, you told me to check on NBS often, I should meet him. I wasted half of my weekend waiting for him, he didn't come at the same time.
Then he PMed me back "send me a mail instead of a PM to set a time to play". I don't know why, but w/e. I sent him this mail :
The mail is in the box "sent and read by the recipient", but he didn't answer. Trying to avoid the match ?
I'm asking for the activity win, and I'll play next rounds when I'll be back (March 10).
Brookman, if you read this message, I still want to play, I didn't join the tournament to avoid battles. I'll be here around 3pm east today, and tomorrow around 5am. Find me on IRC (alt Vinc2612, usually on the channel #Benelux) or if you don't use IRC, send me a PM to show me you want to play.

Get your sets done. Check your PMs frequently. Be on often or at least at your assigned times. And don't use the shout-box as a pout-box. Thank

I've sent my opponent (MarceloDK) a pm but (s)he hasn't replied. I haven't seen them online either. I'm online this evening, and will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons too (GMT).

btw, when you all talk about 'your opponent' please be sure to include his name. it's a pain for me to have to consult the bracket every time. thanks!!
