ODC Update - Rounds 3 and 4

[Captainmeme]

Two things have been pointed out:

First I can't count, we have 30 players. So we would actually only need 5 (and given we have 4 who can play if necessary, we're actually fairly close, although a few of those can only play one round).

Second, it's been mentioned that we could probably find some number of players just by looking for people willing to fill who aren't playing for tournament result.

I think a combination of these factors means it's better to aim for 35 rather than drop to 28, so I'm going to go ahead and do that. This does mean game invites will go out tomorrow, not today.

I suppose if you need someone to help, I would be glad to step in. I'm currently at my games limit, but I would like to be involved if one finishes. Hey, the more diplomacy the better, right?

[WarSmith]

I can play!

I haven't had a game invitation yet.

Is there a delay or is it just me?

No, same here. May not have 35 yet?

Sorry for the lack of updates, all.

We have more than enough people willing to sit out a round, so we could fire with 28. We also have a few extra players who have volunteered to jump in, but not enough to get 35 for both rounds.

The bigger issue is just that I haven't had the free time to deal with the tournament and all the setup, and it's looking unlikely that I'll have it in the near future. I really didn't want to ask, given that we're already 3 GMs deep here... but would anyone be willing to co-GM and help out with setup? It would need to be someone not playing in these rounds, as they have to know what country each player will play, and so could track score.

I'm willing to assist. Happy to sit out both rounds. I can do the random allocations and check for countries. Just need to know which 28 players are contesting each round. In message 10 of this thread there are 30 ppl listed despite a claim that there's only 29. I can take myself out, but who else would sit out?

If I'm not a premium member, is there a limit on how many games I can set up at one time?
