<description><![CDATA[Actually the &quotlame&quot events seem to bring a bigger turnout than the DYP's do.  The DYP's seem to bring between 6 and 8 teams, and the &quotlame&quot events seem to bring 8 to 11 teams.  <br/><br/>We have voted on tourney formats in the past and that, combined with experience, is how I choose to run the events we now have.  I am always open to discussing the subject and want to do what is best for the majority of the players.<br/><br/>Keep foosing all!<br/><br/>Chambie]]></description>

But in the case where you cannot find one, you can often still get in as the &quotx-man&quot - where you can choose your partner from the first team knocked out.  I tell people if they show up to play, we will get them in.<br/><i>edited by BillyBoy on 8/7/2013</i>]]></description>

At the very least, roto is a format that I think is pretty cool and lets other players besides the dominant ones get practice on front and back. I haven't been to many of the tournaments, but I will more in the future, and would like to see more roto and hi/lo events.</blockquote> <br/><br/>What's stopping you from playing up front in the dyp/byp tournaments?

<description><![CDATA[On the &quotenforcement&quot subject:  I suppose declaring that a winner will always be listed in results (except when split is forced; king seat wins by default, as you've done here) is some motivation...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This was a very fun tourney, with some real high level playing.  I even remembered to take a picture of the doubles winners, well sort of.  Both doubles and singles ended up splitting, which was a real shame because the teams involved were both playing at a high level, it would have been fun to see how it turned out.  With that said I have seen some other tournaments have a no split rule unless it is for time considerations.  I am considering implementing one here and would like to get some feed back from all of you on it.
