A relatively new improvement to this site has been that TD's can play when only 3 players have signed up so that WTA tournies can be avoided. As someone who refuses to play WTA tournies I love that. Why stop there though, if TDS can play under those circumstances; why not just let them play every tourney if they want to? If they pay the entry fee like everyone else, the more the merrier & the bigger the payout to whoever wins or comes 2nd/3rd.

Hi ImDerc .. thanks for this thought. We, as TDs appreciate the ability to join and play to allow a tournament to run for the players, either as the third player for a WTA, or the 4th player. The reason for us not to play anytime in any tournament is that fact that we are doing "double duty" when we play -- we are running the tournament, keeping players and tables straight, timing play time, acknowledging player wins and losses, updating brackets, etc. All this is okay to manage if there are just 2 or 3 others in the room ... but any more players than that, like a 7 or 8 player tourney that was double elim... we would not be able to keep up with the tournament duties that are our main focus.

Hadn't thought of the excellent points you make. My mistake; keep up the awesome job you do. Wish you could become a player in any tourney you host; have enjoyed the few games we have played. But now you have explained to me why that isn't possible; I understand. I hope you continue to play if it avoids the stupid WTA all 3 person tourneys where one lucky person gets a free ride to the final.
