Rodders,
hmmmm, just thought 36 players for pool...
If you"re going to do a very quick knock-out style, that will play out:
36 > 18 > errrr.. 9?...
I think we need to change to 32 players max. 32 > 16 > 8 > 4 > 2
= 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 games = 31 games... Probably doable in the time you have.
Is every game going to be "best of 1"? Some people might feel a little put-out to go all that way for 1 game!
Or do you have another format planned other than KO-stylee? If you"re doing Leagues then K.O, I reckon 4 tables would be best...
