Dropping Out
Withdrawing will be equivalent to a forfeit. If you are dropping out in the first round, and can get an alternate to take your spot, that is also acceptable.

Sorry for any problems, please let me know and I will address them asap.

Jim, can you arrange the bracket like it was last year? Like NCAA bracket style (4 conferences) to make it easier to view.

I thought me and foldtocash was going to get a bye for escrowing?

good stuff! lets get this show on the road


i really think both stars/ftp and forum names should be listed here though

um, no thats silly. why would you get basically 1000$ in ev for escrowing

Heh, I wasn't the one who came up with the idea...

Wilt, you and I are to play first round. Send me a PM to schedule sir.

well if everyone agreed to it and other people recommended it then I guess its only fair

I was under the impression they were getting byes also. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a lot of people agreed with that.

I do think Ahnuld has a point

Yeah I'm fine with random byes. +1 on the NCAA bracket looking thing. Inyaface, I'm ready whenever you are, so lmk.

I don't think enough people agreed to make it happen, especially now that the bracket is released (coming from someone w/o a bye)

irock vs derekJ should be the best matchup in the opening round

i think people should make threads about their match up at least a couple hours before they start so people can randomly gambooool on it.

Is that cool with msnl mods?

nah, kingsofcards vs ike gonna be hawt
