Proposal - 2008 ArmchairGM 8-ball Championship

Posted by Alex Holowczak

In 2008, I would love to hold an ArmchairGM 8-ball Pool tournament.

We can use Yahoo, so you are less likely to have to worry about setting up an account etc. It would be very easy to organise, because the two players in a match can choose exactly when they want to play. Because we're using Yahoo, 8-ball is the only pool option we have.

For that to happen though, there would need to be enough entries to make it all worthwhile. It will be straight knockout if it happened, so if we didn't have a number which was 2^an integer, then a few players would get first round byes (by luck of the draw).

Match length can be discussed, but I think it must be no shorter than 7 racks. We can take all year to play it if needs be. So you don't need to play all the racks at once. If you would like to enter, by adding your name to the list below. I shall invite some people, but I figured I'd throw it open to everyone too.

Either add your username to the list (complete with flag) to enter, or comment if you have questions.

[edit] Entrants

??? I clicked on the pool thing on Yahoo, and it told me to sign in. What did you mean by not worrying about an account?

Sorry, I'll rephrase that then... "The majority" of people use it for Fantasy Sports. I'm sorry if I over generalised. But if you would like you to play (and I'd like you to!) then you will need account. I just figured that the majority would already have an account. Sorry.

I'm in, but I don't know when you are planning on starting. I won't be able to play until February.

That's fine. Like I say, you can pick when you play. A random draw will decide who you play, but you can choose a time that is convenient for both player.

You're all toast if Dennis Dixon becomes aware of this pool tournament.

I'm in but I don't think there should be rankings before any matches.

You're supposed to put your name on the list by editing the page.

I will only use them to determine who gets a bye in the opening round if log (number of entrants) / log 2 =/ a whole number. I.e. if we get an 8th entrant, it won't make a difference (log 8 / log 2 = 3).
