While I have no independent witness to the draw, I was scrupulously fair. I wrote all names on post it notes, folded them up, put them in a bag, swirled it around a few times, then pulled out the post-it notes one at a time. I wish I hadn't done it this way. Maybe I would've got a better outcome for myself .
Oh well, that's the luck of the draw .
The number corresponds to when each person came out of the bag, Burger came out first, Amanda came out 17th. Zipptopp was late, so he gets 18.
First Round.
15 - Matt3Jab versus 18 - Zipptopp
16 - Jimandr versus 17 - Amanda
Second Round.
1 - Burger v winner of 16 v 17
8 - Trung v 9 - Jono - RESULT = JONO 4 and 2
5 - PingLauncher v 12 - Miro
4 - TS v 13 - BradW
------------------------------------------
3 - Grunt v 14 - Miro's Wife
7 - Andrew v 10 - Virgal Tracy
6 - Fishman Dan v 11 - 3oneday
2- Coffs Hacker v winner of 15 v 18
The third round would be winner of match 1 v winner of match 2 etc.
I don't have the software on my computer at home to do the bracket diagram. If someone else can do that and PM it to me I can copy and paste it in.
Obviously the first round players need to try and get their game in quickly so as not to delay the event. As Amanda and myself are one of those matches, we should be able to get our game done fairly soon.
The Miro's are unavailable until nearly the end of February, which should suit Grunt.
The highlight of the second round is definitely Dan v Pete. I look forward to a long series of emoticon-laden comments before, and after, this game takes place.
Get those PM's flying. If at all possible, announce your match when the schedule is confirmed so other Ozgolfers can join you to act as witnesses and referees. Quite a few of us can be weekday players if necessary.
Good luck and have fun
