I'm running the Store Championship in Sioux Falls. One thing I appreciate about the FFG tourney systems is that there is one winner at the end of the day. One person will be on top after elimination. One thing that I don't like is that it takes 6 rounds of swiss and 3-4 rounds of elimination to get there.
I'm really hoping that less than 40 people come so I'm only looking at 7 Rounds. If 45 show up then you need 9 rounds. That jump is particularly aggravating for scheduling... it is the difference between ending at 9pm and midnight.
