unbalanced that group. This effectively means that the winner of that
group will have fewer points. I'd like to them (Chris & Russ) to agree
to your idea because it will give me a chance too but .....

I agree that it would be nice if some of the lesser rated players could
progress beyond the first round. So how about we extend the
tournament by instigating 4 rounds:
The top two from each group in round 1 go through to Round 2.
Round 2 has 10 groups of 5, the top two going through to round 3.
Round 3 has 2 groups of 5, the top two going through to round 4.
Round 4 has a single group of four players, winner takes all.
Just a thought,

i think we should be strict in allowing only the group winners to
proceed to the next round. it is the nature of competition that player
get eliminated, whether in the first round or next. modifying the
qualification criteria seems too arbitrary.

they have a greater chance of staying in it longer. No one like to
loose, and with the way the groups are set up it is quite obvious who
should win them. The only things that can throw a spanner in the
works are timeouts and newer players who do not have a rating level
to their ability yet.
This does not need to apply to every tournament, but I am sure we
could have one where only the bottom player in the group dropped
out - this gives everyone in the group something to play for and a
much longer tournament that a lot more people will get enjoyment out
of. If people do not think that is there cup of team, then they can
enter a tournament where only the winner of the froup goes through.

As it looks now, it could be for example 29 players going to the next
round, how do you do the paring? Bets would be to add some more
players!
The same way it is in track & field tournaments, the winners and the
best times goes to the next round! A lot more interesting for the less
good players like me!!
