"Rookie-2009"

Today, I happened to look at the poll attached to the topic and was a bit surprised. Actually, the voting was supposed to end at the start of the tournament, but I simply forgot to check the box when creating the poll. As it turns out, it's still ongoing. So, I decided to make use of this.

At the start of the tournament, the Olympic system had a clear lead, so I included it in the rules, and we played according to it. Now, as you can see, everything has changed. Just in case, I checked who voted for what:

For the Olympic system:
13 playing newcomers
7 non-newcomers - players from the season (including my assistants)
3 observers, i.e., potential newcomers
total 23

For Full Double Elimination:
15 playing newcomers,
8 non-newcomers - players from the season (I'm also among them),
9 potential newcomers
total 32

Therefore, I propose that we hold "Newcomer-2010. Winter Season" according to this scheme. It's too early to discuss it, and probably not the right place. We'll create a topic closer to winter. I don't know yet how things will be in the winter. If it's okay, and no one objects, I'll run it :)

P.S. The daily grind has begun - I'm writing in plain black.
