List updated. We need 10 more. There are a lot of GREAT nominees that aren't in yet. Where is everybody? It's like the same 5-6 people making noms in here. Do I smell funny or something?

Erik: you already seconded Good Will Hunting.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Due to lack of interest, and the fact that I don't really have the time, I'm abandoning this. If anyone wants to pick up the torch, go right ahead.

 

[JenB]

That is a shame, Chuck. I just was popping in to second and third stuff when I saw your note. Alas, I too do not have time to run any tournaments. Good idea for one though.

 

[Jeff Gross]

I'd be glad to take it over and run it if there's interest.

That's what I was thinking with my Star Turns tourney.

Well, I was gonna stop in and third something. Sorry.

 

[ErikG]

It appears as if Tourneys have taken a back seat to the Drafts. Even though, I wouldn't abandon this one completely. It's a great idea. Just put it on hold until the Draft craze cools off a bit.
