I think Mike did a great job and it's outstanding that he ran such a cool and innovative tournament on such a large scale successfully. Kudos to him and his playgroup for putting on a fantastic event. I've heard nothing but positive feedback from the player-base. As a TO myself I know that running a tournament is no small undertaking. A GT of that magnitude? Truly impressive to be able to pull that off.

Our playgroup has been running true Swiss pairing, soft score free tournaments since February and we plan to continue to do so in the future.

I hope the NOVA tournament structure continues to be successful because it reflects well on ours and because just like Mike I believe that the best way to foster great competition is to provide players a competitive environment to play in.
