Looking for Opponents/Games?

I believe we have 10 possible players:
1) josephyossi (messaged me but hasn't been here).
2) SuperSam1
3) aidanB1
4) HorribleTomato
5) vickalan
6) Martin0
7) HorusTheThird
8) hitthepin
9) evert823
10) Luke_Hands
josephyossi are you here?
We can have 5 games where one game gets a bye. Or if josephyossi doesn't show up then I'll withdraw and just be a director.
Does anyone want to face Martin0 in a first round game?
HorribleTomato: bulldog variants are allowed in tier-1 games, so we can use the "hunter" (see below). Does anyone want to play against tomato with the hunter?
Also: I can't host all the games at the same time. So either games are staggered weeks apart, or players have to produce their own boards. I'll make a bracket in a few days based on separating players who I know can do their own diagrams.
hitthepin: Winners only get a digital medal. (But I've been thinking of making a separate "bulldog" website. It's not for games, but "Top" players will be showcased like on Pokemon trading cards. Or baseball cards in the old days. Please wait till April for more info!)
Here is HorribleTomato's hunter:

I can help to monitor forums other than mine.
I don't mind playing against anyone in round 1 as long as I don't have to face @evert823 since I am playing a game with him right now (and it might be good to put us in different brackets since we are the top rated players to potentially play in the final).
So I don't mind to play @SuperSam1 in the first round. Will be fun.

@vickalan, I don't think there is any rush in doing the pairings. You announced the tournament less than 24 hours ago, give players some time to join. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could get 16 players?

Also, I think we should consider to create a club where the games will be played. Just let me know if you want a club and I can create it.

In the beginning it was confusing for me too... but now I've got it and the witch is one of my favorite pieces!

Yay! captaintugwash is in the tournament! I like Martin0's idea - we'll try to make this a 16-player tournament (8 round-1 games)! It might take a few months before the last game is finished, but being champ from 16 starters would be pretty cool!
So with captaintugwash we have 11 players - still need 5 more. Some players can enter after the first games have started. I probably won't start my game right away - I'm currently in games with @dirtysniper and @Critica7. They might want to join too. I'll post a draft of the pairings in a day or two.
I would like to join the tourney
