In Response To: A "new" idea (?) (Coolrey)

As I've previously mentioned, I've never been a fan of traditional DE either. But it's good to have different ideas and formats, which I why I'm hoping to come up with the fairest and best way to run a full Swiss.

My issue with DE is that the guy who loses the finals of the winner's bracket is only 1/16 to win the T, while the guy who wins said finals is 3/4.

I have no problems with Novi being DE over a long weekend, but LA being DE over a normal weekend can be quite rushed, but Patrick gets it done and note that most players drive to LA or that players coming from well east, like me will simply fly home Monday or take a red-eye overnight flight (noting that not many flights land at airports after midnight)...thus time constraints aren't huge in LA, but as I suspect it may have more than 64 in Dec, perhaps Patrick should consider a switch to a SE format.
