You can add “myself” to the bracket if you want. It’s your tournament thing after all. Just know that aside from telling me he wanted in there was no communication with him at all. He never submitted for the first round (creating a hole in my bracket and giving his opponent a by) Here’s the message he sent me after I inquired about whether or not he would actually submit: > [@myself](#): > > prob not That’s it. No reason for it. I’m just going to assume that he had more important things to do. Or that he didn’t even care enough to type a full sentence, so why actually film? A bracket format battle is difficult to keep up with. And depends a lot on people actually submitting videos and participating. Don’t even get me started on match pairings. I would recommend a standard battle format. That way anyone can join, and if they don’t submit, so be it. It’s not like a second, or third round is depending on it. Good luck to everyone who is involved. ---

It all depends now on the amount of people who will be participating. If I was to do a battle with say 20 people, I’m afraid that it would be too much for just I round. But if I was, then I guess I can give everyone like a certain number of votes, maybe half of the number of people that are competing. I’m still thinking about how this is going to work. Thanks for the advice though 🙂 ---

Here’s an idea. Start with 20 people or so. However many you get. Let’s use 20 as an example. Post every vid and allow voters 8 votes. Top 8 people are entered into a bracket with 3 rounds. Just a thought. ---

I vote for Alex’s idea Also, would anyone be in favor of short rounds? Something like 30 seconds with unlimited regens, or no time limit, but only 1 throw with 1 regen ---

> [@benkdru80](#): > > I vote for Alex’s idea > > Also, would anyone be in favor of short rounds? Something like 30 seconds with unlimited regens, or no time limit, but only 1 throw with 1 regen If we are to do the qualifying round thing, then the first round can be something like unlimited throws as long as the video is 30-45 seconds. The only thing I’m afraid of with I throw unlimited regens is that is can go on for a while an it will eventually become awkward with so many regens. ---

Yeah, I was really busy when you started that thing and I didn’t know how hard it would be to film. Sorry for the inconvenience of that. This time I will film though!

i think it should just be a time limit, no edit, and unlimited throws. Making it more of a freestyle like thing any thoughts? ---
