I guess you missed it when I said it on #marp, Gameboy, so I decided to say it on this board. I stopped reading this board quite a while ago, but I thought I'd use it for this, anyway:
<p>
Congratulations. I think you have come up with a very nice format for a tournament. A bit confusing, yes, but a very novel idea for MARP. Regardless of whether it is like (of course!) how things work in the Olympics.
<p>
Congratulations, again. Nice job!
<p>
Ben Jos.

Yeah - I missed it - I've been inundated recently at a bad time with
work I guess... school and everything else - I'm guessing I'm going
at a much faster pace than I want to be.
<p>
Bleh, enough of me - I'd like to thank everyone who's participating
in the olympiad... and I hope that everyone is having a lot of fun as
well.
<p>
And, thank you, Ben Jos.

Yes, idea is good ; but I have a reserve : too much games, too short
period ... the consequence is that all players (like me) concentrate
only on several games, and that's shortening competition (except for
few games like kikcubic or 1943kai) : for example qualifs on turfmast
or pc_rpam were top5, but there was only 4 players who uploaded a
score !

Phil - since this is the First Olympiad, it's good for seeing how the
Second Olympiad should be run
Maybe a limit on the number of games
a person can coordinate would be a good idea, maybe 2 or so. That
would end up being less games in total (considering a lot of people
are coordinating 4 or 5 or more).
<p>
I'm having fun with it, though (partly because there are games in
there I enjoy playing).

I doubt there would be fewer games... just better games.
<p>
There would have definitely been more coordinators with, say, a 3-
game limit.

I don't know what we'll do for Olympiad II... I don't think I'm going
to do it until the summer of 2003 I guess... right now there's
another thing I have to start worrying about. Elections. GB9
