Fencer: Counter proposal:
Set an open ended elimination tournament, with a fixed starting date. On the starting date, all players which are above the 8, 16, 32... limit, in the order of their subscription, are chopped off. So that it's a first come - first play tournament

As MadMonkey rightly points out, trying to guess in advance if you can interest 32 or 64 or 128 people in your tournament is impossible.

OR set it for 128, and if we do not get enough start a 64 one, a 32 one, a 16 one, a 8 one one etc..etc.. until all the players were used up. Then all them winners could play each other in a Final Elimination (which would be the same as having Byes, but a lot more work).

Either way the code would still have to be written, and if doing that why not do a proper job and write a couple of lines of code so that everyone could play, everyone would be happy (well, the BrainKing players would)

Its a system that is used world wide in nearly all sporting Tournaments.

Question: Does someone hold something together with a piece of tape, or use a nut & bolt and do it right (well , i know what i mean)
