I guess I will have to explain why this isn't going to be as successful as TOC. (no disrespect to you tark)
During the time TOC was on, Zing79 had planned the tournament perfectly. His rules made alot of sense and his setup did as well. At that time the game was only 3 months old. So alot of people were still joining the game and when they saw the word *tournaments* they were excited.. everyone would talk about it in the chat.. Zing79 used to send emails to tell you your next match.. and if both opponents didnt show up.. He would make the best rank fighter advance..
Sad to say Tarkan but people are mainly joining your tournament because they got respect for you... they arent really looking forward for this tourney or any tourney. And also the people who do play the game right now have been playin for like the past 6-7 months.. If you check out the chat its always full cause all they do is CHAT..
but I think that if 100 people actually play in this tournament and someone gets the prize.. Then everyone will want to join your next tournament not because of the respect they got the mods but because they want to aim for the prize.
I join this tournament mainly because I want to be in the *greats* list and I want people to recognize me as *the one who won the world warrior tournament* or *very good fighter* but if i dont fix my mouse soon then i cant fight in it 
so mainly im trying to say is without the fire in peoples eyes to win the tournaments.. then this contest will really do no good.. look at npt.. its taking them forever to finish there first round.. ZING79 made it only one week to finish your round or your out... and people would actually fight in that one week... so let see how fast your tourney is going to end...
