Get all other similar tournaments killed off or filled up - then yours will be the only one left standing.

Alternatively, you could attach a more catchy (but spurious) theme to it. Did you know that in under 1500, there was No Mona Lisa?

(In 1503 AD, Leonardo Da Vinci completed his painting the Mona Lisa.)

iKrush, you don't have to wait for 100 players to join up,  say when it get to 50 you can change the format before you start the tourney, but that is up to you.

Like he said, it is now starting with 50 people and open to all.

Avatar of kco

but he only wanted for the lower rated players to join up .

re-set the perameters a little looser, for example, re-set avg time per move to 6 hours, re-set timeout ratio to 20%.  A lot of borderline players who would like to get in your tourn can't because of the restrictions.  And invite players.  everyone you play that meets the perameters, invite them.  you would  be surprised at how many will sign up.    hope this helps, works for me.
