It's another to be experienced enough playing it repeatedly against hard opponents in a 2 hour time-limited span. GENERALLY speaking, more RTT's and GT's participated in (and with a better record), is a good sign. That's not the only sign, and it is not a barrier to entry either. Just data for us to have.<br /><br />The thing here is that we cannot take "bad" players ... because the Invitational does not have the same bracketing and # of rounds as the Open GT, to ensure that the field is fairly evaluated. If Invitational GT Champ #1 draws a "scrub" in Round 1, the evaluative power of the field is weakened as a result. So, if someone sends in an app and says "I've never played in a GT or RTT before, and my list is 200 hormagaunts and a parasite of mortrex," I know to politely suggest the GT only.Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-436469726932523482011-07-28T21:49:47.112-07:002011-07-28T21:49:47.112-07:00"Your general RTT and GT experience over the ..."Your general RTT and GT experience over the last year"<br /><br />Just curious, why is this here?Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245451939976361103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-73103161963727352272011-07-28T13:00:20.275-07:002011-07-28T13:00:20.275-07:00Should we expect a response?
