loool Who's shy in person. You've seen me once where I barely spoketo you cos you weren't where I was in the room mostly yet you seem to think I am some quiet person and shy who never say anything lol. If you know me then you wouldn't defintely know I am not shy or quiet but nice attempt on your comment. If you see below my sig I am handing out effort points for people trying to become the best fox but in this case I can hand some out to you.It isn't a big thing to yourself because your expected to pass pools. In any sense of fairness for other players surely you are intelligent enough to see how it would lead to given cerain players unfavourable advantage?
Pools are there to ensure that the best players get into the bracket. Therefore, absolute fairness is key.
Im not indicating that you are using the matches to warm up for brackets. Im saying that for e.g. you have player 1,2,3,4,5 in a pool. Player 1 sits on one system and plays players 2,3,4 in a row. Player 5 then sits down. Player 5 may or may not have played a match depending on how many systems per pool. It is obvious from this eample one player is better prepared for their match.
In your reply you stated that brackets were restricted in time due to people walking about. If you start the tournament by designating a pool runner per pool then you shouldn't have this issue. I never have. You simply tell people to play their matches and you ensure its done in a fair order. You tell them that your running the pool and not to wander off. Its the tone you use.
However, your loud on the boards and a shy bairn in person so I understand why people walking of is an issue *embarassing face*
But anyway back to what you were saying i'm still gonna play all my games straight. I know you are 'Mr Tournament Man' and you run loads of stuff but I don't care and I will still play all my games first lol and whoever wants to do it iswell is open to do it the pool which I am in.
And I am sure most people aren't too bothered about the whole advantge and if the are they can do it the normal way which is what i said in the beggining.
