    13 BTK The Truth - Blake (54)

    7. Sportdan - Henman (61) def. 8. nyisles - Federer (75) 6-1, 6-2

    Coria def. Henman 6-0, 6-0
And then:
  • Bracket B

    9 AtXj - Roddick (71) def 10 Rally Monkey - Mirnyi (57) 6-2, 7-5

    11 Webdanzer - Hewitt (67) DEF. 12 JamesE - Henman (61) 6-3, 6-0

    Hewitt def. Roddick 7-5, 7-6

    and

    13 BTK The Truth - Blake (54) def. 14 CP Zeppo - Haas (55) 6-0, 6-0

    16 seminole - Coria (65) def. 15 Leebo33 - Federer (75) 7-5, 7-5

    Blake def. Coria 6-1, 6-4

There are 12 pros of each gender in the game. Two of the men and two of the women have fewer than 50 stars, and several have over 60, one or two of each have over 70.

What I propose is that we have a random draw for players once we get set on who is in the tourney. If we only have eight guys, I would still want to do a draw with all but the worst two Pros, but another option would be to lop off the top, over-boosted guys as well as the lame-os and drawing from a group of 8 relatively even pros. For myself, I don't mind having some difference among the guys we are using, but I can see the argument that we should leave out Federer and Rodick.

So, sign up here if you are interested in participating. We will have to cap the entrants at 12 (if we get a lot more, we could easily do a 2nd tourney simultaneously, maybe with the women?).

Already from the impressions thread, we have:

XboxJon
BTK The Truth
Rally Monkey
Leebo33
CP Zeppo

Any others interested, sign up. The first 7 will be in, we will do a random draw for players, and the best rated guys will get a bye for the first round.

If we get more than 12 total, like say 16, then we will do two 8-man tourneys, maybe with women in one bracket.

Who's in?

As another suggestion, if we get a ton of interest, you could just do two men's brackets, each with their own random draw for which players to use. If we end up with the same two pro's in the final, I think that would still work (you can pick the same character and still play).

Alrighty. I have updated the first post with the list of those who have signed up.

Pending confirmation from Rally Monkey and Leebo, we have 14 players, with 10spro as an alternate.

What we could do, is tell seminole and spooky oooky that they are too late, and go with the first 12, draw players and so on.

Or, we could try to make something work with 14. If we had two seven player brackets, then one in each bracket (the top-rated pro, I guess) would get a bye.

Of course, another option is to find 2 more players and get it to 16 and have two 8-player brackets.

Either way, if we have two brackets, then the question is do we do two separate tourneys, one with men one with women, or do what Jon suggested, having two pools of players and two pools of male pros, such that the two brackets may have repeat players but repeats could only meet in the finals.

Thoughts?

Just making sure. We need to decide if we want to do two 8-player tourneys, one men and one women, or one with repeat men. I would be fine with the women myself, if you're waiting for someone to break the ice. Any opinions, desires, thoughts?

I like the idea of 1 tourney for men and the other for women.
