the purpose of this tournament
Posted by jootoo on Saturday, Jan 10 at 5:36pm
Last night (my time) I worked as a crazy bee to check hundreds of pages to sent 280+ invitation, I am happy to see 99 players come here now (13 ones before the invitation sent)
the match will start automactically after the 100th one come here.
the purpose of the tournament is:
ensure the low rating players have the chance to be champion of tournament 
there are too many tournaments do not give you this chance,for lots of 1600+ players are overthere to block you, you have no chance to be the final winner, or even there is no any chance to go to next round.
but now,everything is changed, one of you will be the champion, and 50% of you will go to next round, this is our own party.
I will organize the similiar party for you in future
Good Luck and enjoy the coming win at this tournament.
