First time creating a tournament

Hey all... I created a Wingspan Tournament, although I am not sure how other people see it... I want it to be open for whoever to join.

This is my first time creating a tournament and hoping I can get some feedback on how to make it work well.

Thanks

If you want Wingspan players to see it, perhaps posting it in the Wingspan-specific sub-forum would help.

As for making it work well, if you have played other tournaments and liked the format...steal it for yours! If you didn't like something, make sure that you don't have the same setting in yours. You may wonder something like "what are the *best* playing hours to set." There aren't any. Just set them to something comfortable for you, and it is up to the people who join to make sure they can participate.

Have fun.

All information regarding the tournament settings are available to people before they sign-up. If they like those settings, they'll sign-up.

Just FYI on the elimination settings - as it'll mostly be 5p games with only 2 people kept from each game it may be quite short - it'll go something like this if 100 players sign-up (number is players still in tournament):
* 100
* 40
* 16
* 6
* 4 - end.
