A large issue with the tourney I believe was trying to garner enough participation. I think the idea of having to AAA a file just in order to submit was a bit intimidating/annoying for some. I think the next time I do a rates tourney, I'm going to try to create a scoring system that both incorporates rates and allows for non-AAA scores to be submitted.

If you had anything you liked or didn't like about the tournament please let us know That way we can use the feedback to create a better tourney next time.

Anyways, as for credit distributions, due to the lack of participation, I decided that most of the credits will go to participation instead of placements since it would be ridiculous to receive a huge amount of credits for getting first place while only playing two rounds for example. The distributions are below:

Sneaky, but nice choice using most of the credits in participation, since most players didn't participate all of the way! I loved the format, planning, and strategy you used to create the tournament, keep that for future tournaments!

Two things I didn't like are among the obvious though, lack of participation, and lack of updates in the end of the rounds! However, this time of year, people are really busy, so I understand! (If there were another, it would be that the credit pool could be bigger, but that's purely in the generosity of the players)

Great job nonetheless, when will the credits be sent out?
