I kept forgetting about that thread. it was cool, I meant to keep up with it more.
I definitely will not be joining. I am willing to give my coins to Trapster, but that probably wouldn't be fair. maybe transfer them to someone who wants to participate but didn't have a chance to hop in earlier?

To Yoshi Dude: I'll spread your coins evenly with the other participants. First we gotta get all the Groups up.

To MarioMaster/Raccoon Flight: Well, sheesh, PM some of the people on the Coin Count list to remind them. Strategy: Don't say "Would you like to join?", say "Check out this thread. You'll like it." instead.

And I've already reminded Trapster, so keep him out of this.

!!! !!! GREAT IDEA !!! !!!
How's this? We don't NEED 8 Groups. We can have any number at all! All we have to do is turn the Elimination-style Tournament into a Round Robin-style Tournament! Who likes that idea?

Team A:
-fabio (140 C)
-Luigi fan (150 C)
-MarioMaster (205 C)

Team B:
-Captain moneybags (370 C)
-Sukasa (230 C)
-BabyBowser (270 C)

Team C:
-Peardian (155 C)
-Magikoopa Myster (120 C)
-Ice Ranger (?) (120 C)

Coin Count:
(B) Captain moneybags + 370
(B) BabyBowser + 270
(B) Sukasa + 230
(A) MarioMaster + 205
(C) Peardian + 155
(A) Luigi fan + 150
(A) fabio + 140
APH Striker + 150

What's Round Robin-style? I say wait until we get more teams before a decision is made.

Eliminations involve climbing the ladder to the top. Round Robin is very different. In a Round Robin, the winner of the match gets a 'point', and the losers don't get points but they stay in the game. After all groups have fought each other group one time, the one with the most points wins. In case of a tie, there will be a final tiebreaker battle, and in case of a three-way tie or higher, all groups but the winners are eliminated and play continues until one team has the highest score. In some ways, that's better because losing teams never have to sit out (unless there's a tie). Problem is, that might last for a longer tournament, so you guys will have to be dedicated.

Yeah, there are pros and cons to both.

Elimination:
PROS
-More fierce competition
-Not as long but still fun
CONS
-Losers must sit out the rest of the game
-Must have a number of teams equal to some power of 2 (4, 8, 16, etc.)

Round Robin:
PROS
-Everyone stays in the game the entire time
-Any number of groups is okay
CONS
-Longer tournament, in some cases too long
-Harder to set up the Shops the right way

In any case, unless we get exactly 8 teams, Elimination might not work. What's tough is that some of our coin-betters haven't been active in this thread recently. And yes, Peardian, we can't really decide until we have all the teams.

Team A:
-fabio (140 C)
-Luigi fan (150 C)
-MarioMaster (205 C)

Team B:
-Captain moneybags (370 C)
-Sukasa (230 C)
-BabyBowser (270 C)

Team C:
-Peardian (155 C)
-Magikoopa Myster (120 C)

Coin Count:
(B) Captain moneybags + 370
(B) BabyBowser + 270
(B) Sukasa + 230
(A) MarioMaster + 205
(C) Peardian + 155
(A) Luigi fan + 150
(A) fabio + 140

You can if you want, but I refuse to tell you anything. If other teams tell you their creatures in PMs, it's fine, but that's up to them, not me. Otherwise I would be very disrespectful to them. Also, thanks for coming to my rescue. *glares at Luigi fan*

I'm going to PM everybody on the list, asking if they're going to participate or not. Once everyone on the list has either formed a team or dropped out, we can get this party started.

Team A:
-fabio (140 C)
-Luigi fan (150 C)
-MarioMaster (205 C)

Team B:
-Captain moneybags (370 C)
-Sukasa (230 C)

Team C:

This is just a suggestion, but you could try sending PM's to all members who haven't responded and address the tournament. Of course, there's always the chance they won't respond. *coughIceRangercough* Ugh I hate being sick... As I was trying to say, Ice Ranger, please respond if you read this.

I´m on my way forming a Team. It depends on if they´ll participate or not.

I´ve already sent PMs.

Amazingly enough, there are 15 people left, and, if they all form 3 person teams, would mean we'd have exactly 8 teams. Go figure.

Hey, don't you think it would be all right to have one-man teams? That way, people wouldn't have to wait as long for the tournament to start.
