Tourney Nonsense?

[Zeus]

This is a 24 team single elimination sample: http://challonge.com/tournaments/bra...ref=gJAS5VY82p
the first 8 team play one round less, it fits to the original 'only 8 team' idea.

I counted 25 team in the sign-up thread, so the last team should be a reserve if one team is not available.

So the first 8 that registered get the spot that they earned for registering early and generating interest and then the remaining 16 can compete with each other for the remaining 8 spots? Sounds good to me!
