Iron DM 2022 Is Upon Us! Sign-Ups and Scheduling!

[Gradine]

This is my 9th time participating and I can't say I've ever seen every main slot fill up in under four and a half hours before, or even anything remotely close to that

 

[Wicht]

The judges still have some confabbing to do, but we have a full roster now! Anyone who wants to put in their name as an alternative participant can still do so. Life being what it is, there is always a chance that we will need one.

Eager recruits... it's not too early to begin letting us know what schedules look like.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Pacific time zone.
It's the start of term, so quite busy up until the 8th of Sept, but I can make it work.

Yeah, it’s almost like the old days, when we had to announce the recruitment ahead of time to give everyone a chance to be online when it started.

 

[J.Quondam]

Central time zone here. My schedule is generally pretty flexible.

 

[Rune]

Eastern time zone, here. Probably best to start in the mornings. At least, on the weekdays.

 

[Snarf Zagyg]

Time is an artificial construct created by the man to ensure we have to rush back from lunch before we’ve finished our third martini.


But I can tolerate events within EST (U.S.).

 

[Gradine]

Pacific time zone. Once again weekdays are better for me than weekends but this is not as restrictive as it has been for me in the past

2011 seems like the year that solidified the 8-person roster (2010 had 16 slots), and the fastest sign-ups since then took 3 days.

Last year's tournament was incredibly exciting from start to finish. Excited to see what's in store this year!

2010 was an anomaly. Most tourneys were 8 slots, right from the very beginning. I suspect the very quickest to fill up was the first, which only had 1-hour matches.

I do remember that the first one I judged (Summer 2003) filled up in half an hour.

It was a younger, more innocent board back then. I certainly was younger with a lot more free time.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Pacific, and I've got most of my free time on Sunday and Monday (though I can generally plot Saturday and write Sunday in a pinch).

 

[Helena Real]

EST works best for me, but I can accommodate Pacific Time

 

[humble minion]

Oh damn, missed the sign-up! The downside of being in a different timezone Put me down as an alternate though.

 

[Fenris-77]

I'll play if a spot comes open.

 

[Andrew Anderson]

Est is best time for me.

 

[Wicht]

We have our contestants. The other two judges will make themselves known at a time of their own choosing, but in the meantime, we can start scheduling the first match...

We can start the first match on Sunday, though if someone wants to start one today or tomorrow, we can also do that. Does someone want to step forward to go against Fitz beginning on Sunday? Or do we have two participants who don't want to wait until Sunday?

 

[Rune]

I could start a match right now.

 

[Fenris-77]

We really should turn the results into a zine...

 

[Wicht]

I could start a match right now.

Any takers to the thrown gauntlet?
