The Lethal Lottery Tournament

[RavennaAl]

I was just brainstorming with Dave Roller for the next issue of the Tweak and we came up with an idea for a tourney to end all tourneys. It's too late for this years MFCA convention, but if Miggle doesn't have their convention this winter, perhaps we could have this instead. Here's the lowdown.

All coaches tweak 10 rookie and 10 TTC bases to their liking. On Friday evening, say around 6pm, all coaches put their bases into a box/bag/bowl or whatever. For each coach who does, 10 extra already tweaked bases will be added to the mix. Then, they all take turns ( not being able to see whose base they are drawing, of course) randomly drawing bases one at a time until each coach has 30 bases. These are what they will use for their team. They then have until 10pm to sort the bases out for each position for their team. NO extra tweaking will be allowed. All coaches will practice with their new bases in the same room to be sure nobody cheats. At 10pm, or sooner if the coach is already done, all teams are turned in to the 'Team Keeper' to keep everyone honest. Starting early Saturday, the tourney starts and everyone plays through the rounds like most tourneys until the winner is crowned.

This would really showcase who can adapt and coach using what they are given. Who would be up for such a tournament????
