So it's really looking more like a 10 person league at this point, which I think will be pretty awesome. If for anyone who was in for a 20 person league but isn't interested in a 10 person league just let me know.
It will change the payout structure for the tournaments and for the league winners. For 10 it will be 50/30/20 percent of the prize pool.
In so far:

There are three people from work who have indicated that they are in but who haven't paid the league buy-in yet.
Sue just got the details and should probably get back to me soon. I have considered her a pretty solid "in" because of her previous participation, but I don't know.
There are a couple of Jazzfanzzers that I've heard from but who are not 100% in, and a few that I thought might be in but who are not.
If on monday there are more than 10 solid commitments then I'll make a strong push for going for it and try to get to 14 at the bare minimum. Has nothing to do with who fills the spots but 11, 12 or 13 players makes it not worth going past 10. 14-15 is acceptable, but if we go past 10 I'd really like to get to at least 16. I don't know if people really get why, but I'd rather go 10 stong than trying to scrape together 13. And we absolutely have enough to go 10 strong, dedicated, enthusiastic, reliable league players. So this is gonna be good, regardless. I'm just torn because I really thought there would be stronger interest and 14-15 players were already locked in. And I don't want to turn people away if we cut back to 10. I want everyone to play.
[MENTION=578]franklin[/MENTION], if you want to float the idea to some folks, please feel free. We've got open spots.
But I honestly think, based on where we're at, I'd be happy and my work would be done if we cap at 10. I'd have to turn a couple people away, but I wouldn't be spending the next couple weeks trying to convince people to have a good time for very little money and a modest time commitment.
