How many people do you need in order to be able to have 2 divisions?


we already have enough for 2 divisions of 5 people each. obviously, the more people that join the better! we can either make the 2 divisions bigger with up to 6 people each (5 rounds of games with round robin, each against others in the same division), or we can have more smaller divisions (minimum 4 people) with rounds 1-3 played against in division opponents, and round 4's 2 games played against players from other divisions. We still have a lot of time left for people to sign up, so hopefully we can have 16 people sign up eventually. Last GE in the Fall of 2024, we had 12 players. There have been others interested in playing in the past so hopefully it will work out to join this time around.


@ Mando;

Just curious, how do you determine which players are put into which division and the order that they play each other in each round, in each division? Is there some program that you use?

I've been trying to divide up the divisions where people who've done well in the past tournaments get split up between the two divisions. That way a single division isn't going to be as difficult for a inexperienced player or someone who hasn't done as well in the past to try to get into the top 3. Last couple of GE's it's worked out good with some new faces in the playoffs and people doing much better that hadn't before. I kinda take the last two GE tournaments and assign a value for each based on performance in GE tournaments and distribute them evenly between the divisions. Hope that makes sense to people. I'll be getting the divisions set up tomorrow and matchups generated so that I can post those along with the squads.
