i totally agree. i would love to see a pool format at this tournament. it seems like everyone who has posted so far has been in favor of having pools.And like I said, you can throw on a 6 minute timer as well to ensure matches can't go to 8. You can also use the 2 stock format to make things run quicker.
And quite frankly, I don't think we should modify the tournament just because a handful of people made poor travel arrangements and need to leave early. If they did a crap job of scheduling themselves, then it's their problem, not ours.
