Cactus Web Site special offer: Orders over $75 will receive a free Angel of God 2023 National Promo card while supplies last.
I am willing to allow the following trial for this tournament season:Top Cut will be allowed (not required) for categories over 31 people. So if the tournament host, with input from his players, wants to give it a try it will be okay with me. Given that, we need to nail down the format for hosts that want to try it.
I like the idea of only the host seeing the rankings pre-tournament.
Assuming that the host does not play in that category....
What's worse, is group two is stacked pitifully.

Chris Ericson is a top player, you are a upper tier player, and Jason Dailey is an upper tier player, but Prof doesn't know that because he probably has no idea who Jason Dailey is.

Those players aren't with you.

If you haven't proven you are a good player in tournaments, you can't be ranked. Ranking someone based on how we think they will do is not fair to the people who have already earned their ranking.
