Sorry guys I’ve been out with the family today so trying to get caught up. nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7 you’re amazing coordinating these and pushing this forward, and being open discussion on ways to make it even better. Doc and I have discussed some ideas and one we’ve talked about that I particularly like is is a tournament-style approach. Nothing too complicated so it’s still fun, and I think it can help make things more fair and also provide judges each week. Basically here’s the idea: 

- Each tournament could be 5 weeks at a time. 4 weeks of qualifying rounds, and then the 5th week would be the final. 

- Have a consistent sponsored prize purse for the first 4 weeks, and a larger sponsored prize purse for the final.

- Each person can only win once during the duration of the weekly qualifying matches.

- The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners each week would then be expected to serve as judges for the following week, along with the sponsor and you or someone else if you want to participate. 5 total judges each week. Simple majority vote of judges wins. 

- After the weekly qualifying matches conclude, hold a final. Only the winners from that round of qualifying matches are eligible to enter the final. 

- The panel of judges for the final could be formed of other contestants or special invited guest judges.
