Not true. Cheap, Kalm, Winnar, and DanGR have attended several tournaments, although DanGR wasn't at TCS V.
If you make a panel, then make it at least a large panel.
And Munkus, I don't want to go "hogwild" and get everyone's separate PR list. I want to base it off of tournament results, but I am also a little irritated when people appoint themselves as highly respected panelists without getting input from the masses first. I don't think most of us would like to be completely shut out of the process if we are going to do it by opinions.
Cheap and Kalm aren't well respected or known throughout the state/region as being good and knowledgeable about the game and its players in the state.
and Winnar isn't from AL, and if we are doing a small panel that would be weird to have one person that's not even from the state.
DanGR would probably qualify but last time he didn't want to make a list, so I dont know if he's going to want to this time.
anyway I like the idea of getting input from lots of people, but I'm definitely not into just "everyone send me a list". last time I was only accepting lists from people who attended lots of our tournaments and people who people knew and respected. i don't mind that, and it worked out last time, esp. when it came to conclusively deciding who the new number 10 was going to be..i dont really know what munkus's problem with it is. if like ihsb sent a list for example, i wouldn't have accepted it because he doesnt come to our tournaments. (even though he's a super cool awesome guy *thumbsup* <_<)
but a a panel of george, will, and moogle and maybe me would work just as well becuase they are all honest, knowledgable, and attend all of our tournaments, and know who's performing well.
If there's going to be a panel, Being good at the game matters to some extent, For one, no one in or out of the state is going to take our list seriously if its decided upon by a bunch of people who barely make it out of pools. that's just the way it is. Secondly people who are better at the game will notice little things that will factor into the rankings, more so than other people. Quite frankly, I more respect and take more seriously a list from George or moogle than I do a list from other less respected players etc.
but more opinions generally decreases the margin for error as long as the people are honest, unbiased, and know what they're talking about.
if we're going to hav ea large panel we should probably wait for another tourney or two to update the list...because i've noticed that people will let the results of one tournament dictate who they put on a list, and that may be how they do it in Georgia, but here we're trying to decide who the best in the state is. Not who got an easy bracket in the latest tournament.
