builttospill: My argument would be that to say "the strongest will emerge" is not entirely accurate. The strongest could emerge. There are ways to measure the strongest player -- ELO rating is one way, tournament results in aggregate is another way -- but the fact is those things no longer ...

builttospill: This is an exciting tournament.
