"The Draw aka The Donkey Rush
It's 2016, at least a decade that I know of past when we should have this figured out. When the draw for the main event is released why do we only post it in one spot?? Can't we have it in two (or more) places initially? It will have to be condensed to one for reporting results of course but that's not an issue. I would even prefer if someone could perhaps use a projection screen to post the draw or put it online somewhere!? It's 2016!!"
I have consistently complained about this and for the most part it has fallen on deaf ears. I've even had one director tell me it isn't necessary and then come up to me 15 minutes after the start time (just as a game in my match had finished and say, "See everyone is playing by now."
One director listened to me a few years ago in Denver and the computerized draw was printed thrice and posted in 3 places and everyone was very quickly seated and playing.
Lets say I draw Stick first round. Here's what the draw should look like.
It should be in alphabetical order, so when I eye down to the K's I see,
Kazaross, Neil 32 (table#), Stick
Then when Stick looks down to the S's he sees,
Stick 32 Kazaross, Neil
By putting your opp's name after your's it is really hard to play the wrong person, and this also prevents the Donkey Stare where players take up to a minute at the draw sheet blocking the view of others while they try to see what opp is assigned to their table.
