I think at this point it's probably best to leave it the way it is. People are already starting to set up the games, so we really shouldn't be switching things all around again.

On another note, a big thanks go out to Topazg again for getting this set up and going! Thanks. :D

I keep linking it all over the place, but http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ is awesome to arrange international matches, what with all the different timezones.

I'd agree with this. Although I argued against blitz byoyomi time limits, in my experience, 25 in 10 or, slightly faster, 15 in 5, are good time limits, that allow dealing with a thorny problem should it occur, but help prevent games going on for extremely extended times.

If this matters to anyone doing the organizing, I seem to be playing currently as a 6k, and I have *never* played a game with settings slower than 30 + byo yomi.
Patience, grasshopper.

Are the match results being posted anywhere? At least, is there a "Results" thread somewhere? It would just help me visualize the draw easier, and also I like to know what's going on with the matches.
I know nothing.

This reminds me of the NAIM. Win a hard match, get an impossible match. Win that, and get an even more impossible match.

If you want, I don't think it's necessary unless you really feel people will dispute it when they lose..
