I loved the last tournament, but to solve the problem of turning away people who wanted to join the last tournament, but we needed a number of entrants which would be knocked in half after each round to get to 1 person (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512); maybe we could have a musical chairs style tournament where the person with the lowest vote total gets dropped after each round, kind of like what american idol does, but without ryan seacrest. this way, if we get 347 people who want to join, we don't have to turn down 91 of them. granted, if 347 people join, this tournament will take almost year to complete even if we have daily rounds. maybe that's not such a bad idea though, if will force people to be active and only the people with the most creative stamina will survive because if you miss a round, you will be automatically dropped from the tournament. we'll have to make it one entry per person and anonymous voting like we had in the last tournament and we'd have to set a limit on the number of votes each person can cast.
anyone else have any ideas?
