I should add this to the rules, although it is technically covered by point 1.
I am very very much against giving people “byes” in this tournament.
If you opponent never shows up, or you never make it past round 1, then I do plan to if at all possible, give you a new opponent.
The whole point of the tournament is to get people playing these different maps. If you skip a round, that means you’ve skipped a map, and that makes me incredibly sad.
The fact that you could win a little something is a nice bonus, but the real incentive is the fun you will have playing on all these different boards.
So ya, if it is possible, I will find a new opponent for anyone who’s opponent is not playing.
