Thank you, Wicc.
I just read the tournament rules and I'm not quite clear on one point: players can play the first round themselves, but it also says that the game counts towards qualification if it's a best-of-three (bo3), meaning the first to two wins. Why all these complications? Wouldn't it be simpler to give players a certain amount of time to register for the tournament, then draw the brackets and play accordingly. If someone doesn't show up for a game within, say, two weeks, they're eliminated, and their opponent advances. Your proposed scheme has many flaws.
I can give an example from my own experience. I played a game with a guy, at least we agreed to play the first round with him, specifically WardenNick. The game ended in his favor, but it counted towards qualification, which was surprising to me, but ultimately a good thing. Then we played again, and this time it was supposed to be the first round, since the qualification was over, although it's unclear how it was over if it said it was bo3. Now WardenNick loses to me, the score is 1-1, but in reality, the first round goes to me, which I should be happy about, but I don't feel that way.
And it's not clear what the moderator has to do with it? Where is the organizer? :smile18:

Oh, never mind, I'm being slow. There's a report on the qualification game where it's clearly identified as such.
So the second game was the first round.
