In Response To: Non Giants in a Giants invitational? (!) (Coolrey)

Rory approached me with an invitation based on my near miss of the top 64. I told him that I felt it would be better if he limited the event to the top 64, but that I would compete if I received an invitation. He did, I accepted and made it to the round of eight before being eliminated.

Putting aside my personal opinion, the top 32 are Giants. 33 - 64 are not Giants even though the lexicon has been drifting towards calling them all Giants. So it really wasn't a Giants tournament as soon as it was opened to 33-64. And, he definitely didn't have enough of the top 32 to hold the event at all. So the question wasn't whether or not to let non-Giants into the tournament. The question was where to draw the line.
