In Response To: The seed pairings (Keene)

Out of sensitivity for the people who are picked last, we let people know in advance that after we get down to a certain number of people we put them into a larger group...this way they go for more money and no one or two people are singled out as being picked last.

In last year's Peoria tournament I was one of the last seeded players picked (along with Rory). I was not embarrassed at all...I was proud to be seeded, and in fact, I was not as good as those who were picked ahead of me (I bought two teams myself but didn't pick me...I wanted a good return on my investment!)

Even in traditional calcuttas, I believe that when you are down to two teams that have not been bought, you should bag them together so there is no embarrassment for anyone. (I am a highly sensitive person, and anyone who doesn't agree can go fuck themselves.)
