Wobbegong are the new carp.
In any case, I like the blow-by-blow descriptions: The videos are often too long and hard to understand.

Okay, sorry I was late getting a post up but I need people's opinions.

First, should new characters be allowed in for Round Two or should we say any applicants after Round One are officially registered for the Second Tournament?

Second, for Round Two, how should it be set out? If I've done the maths right, doing it in 1vs1 matches would lead to one person not competing, so I'll give a couple of choices:

1vs1, with the left out competitor receiving a by in to the next round?

Or

1vs1, with a 1vs1vs1 fight to include the missing competitor?

If we get an odd number of late entries, then the problem is solved. We simply throw them in, and everyone has a partner!

Otherwise, I like the by-in strategy. A 1v1v1 would be a bit unfair.

If I interpreted that correctly, then if it becomes a team thing (2vs2) then the problem remains, however:

Otherwise, I like the by-in strategy

This would work.

Would anyone else like to throw in the vote for team fights?

I meant that everyone would have a partner for a fight.

Instead of 2v2, it'd be 1v1 and 1v1.

Sorry about this, but I'm having a bit of difficulty with this, could you define what you mean by two 1v1 fights and tell me the difference between that and 2v2 fights?

What he's saying is this.
Suppose you have 7 people, then 1 person doesn't have a partner.
But suppose you also have 3 people who want to join.
Now you have 10 people. That's an even number, so everyone can have a partner.

That being said, I don't think you should have people join now, because the people from round 1 have 10 or 13 points of advantage and will probably beat them. I support by-ins.

Well, you know how if you take your thumb and forefinger and hold them up to your eye, you can make it look like you're squishing someone's head? It's like that, only for real.

Wouldn't the Wobbegong air-drown out of water?

An Iron-Man fighting an octopus underwater screams awesome to me.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.
