OFB-8

Wicc and the tragedy of Russian liberalism :smile40:

In words, a supporter of strong and centralized power, serious and well-considered decisions, but in practice, in Wicca tournaments, there is complete chaos and anarchy: the draw is conducted by the participants themselves, whoever manages to do it, the tournament rules are constantly being added, and eliminated players suddenly return. :smile34:

Vic, you're talking like Vic the Demagogue now, or Vic the Bore ;)

This is how I see it "from the judges' point of view": they took 7 people, then saw that Gomunguls withdrew, there were only 9 people, and the Reb-Kobra match was interesting and complex, both were worthy of victory, and they decided to take 11 people so as not to offend anyone, then Rebellius messed up and there were ten of them left, as originally intended.

Or another option: AK needs fresh blood, so get elected and bring order there. The elections are open.

Now a couple of suggestions for running FB-8, I'm tired of the chatter
- use only a chess timer to avoid delays and pauses in moves.
- set strict deadlines for the match, and that they are played in order, and not everyone plays whenever they want - to avoid situations where one player has played 7 matches, and another has 1 or 2
- introduce 3 points for a win - to avoid the circus with draws and collusion.
