Which shuffling are you referring to? Maybe it's because my brained is fried that I can't remember; point is I don't. ^^
Anywho, I am not looking forward to making the pairings tomorrow. Oh, look at all the people I will have to DQ....aragornbird will have quite a bit of company now, I'm afraid.
Usually what I'll be doing is a) DQ'ing one player if s/he made zero or little effort to battle, and the opponent has posted here a lot(ie. you, Ryan :D ); b) If neither make any effort to contact me or post here, I get rid of both of them(ie. what happened to aragornbird); c) Both have legitimate reasons for not battling so I move both to the next round(ie. Aurasphere *hinthint*); and d) I DQ the person who lost the match and the winner goes on (ie. both of you know who you are :D ). The least common of the four is actually d. ;_;
Due to turnout I am seriously considering dropping the Side-Tourneys for future tourneys. Though I may just make one Side-Tourney for each tourney. For example, Ooka mentioned that I should have a Shoddy Side-Tourney, and I expect there are a few who want Uber and/or Monotype Side-Tourneys, XD.
