Speaking for myself, I wanted to thank everyone for coming out and playing some great games. Thanks also to Jarret, Jasper and everyone else who put this set together.

5-team round robin, team on bye moderates each round?
(This could probably also be done with 7/9 teams, but I'd be surprised if a lot of teams can stick around for a 7/9 round tournament after SCT. If you get 10 teams, you could do two brackets of 5 and cross-bracket finals.)
