The title of this thread is an oxymoron. Regardless, I will join though I doubt my skills are where they once were.

GrooveMan's idea is awesome. I don't wanna get thrown against Elk/Neorice/BAB and not be able to compete anymore...
However I will have to tell you beforehand: My computer time schedule is generally fixed, but it might change at any time. I'm usually on my computer on the weekends (Friday through Sunday/Monday maybe even Tuesday) and I'm generally at home Tuesdays through Thursdays and usually the first part of Fridays. I don't know what I'll do if the rounds fall on weekends when I can't be here to sprite... I'll try though. But as said before my computer time can change unpredictably.

nobody is actually going to do that unless they're dumb
i know of several people who intend to do that this TUGS, and have done so every TUGS
Just as I always purposely went into 'intermediate' instead of 'experts' so I had higher chances to get into later rounds

if people dont want to "lose", people shouldn't "join".
otherwise whats the point of joining a tournament to begin with.
If everyone joined because they wanted to lose then it'd be a very boring tournament since noone would put effort into anything as that would lower their chance to lose.
As in, I don't "want" to "lose". I wouldn't have a problem if I did, though.
