That's actually a pretty kick-ass idea, cos it means there's still competition. Although I guess that could be a bit unfair depending on the seeding. Let's hope there aren't that many dropouts, eh?! Although there's certain to be a fewI think if there are any forfiets, his/her opponent should not just be granted automatic entry into the next round. I think that the best runner up in the same bracket should go against the person who has no opponent.
If you don't understand that (which I don't) I'll use my situation as an example.
Say if metropole drops out, and machChunk has no opponent. I lose to Toon as expected, and out of the other two losers in my bracket who are producing inverters, I score the highest. So then MachChunk goes against myself. Whoever has the highest of points out of the two of us goes through. This means the seedings are not really upset and you don't get people going through who don't really to deserve to. It will also stop people from producing half ass parks because they know their opponent has dropped out.
This is just an idea. -

Just read this, and I must say, I like the sound of it... The only problem being the brackets afterwards. The 64 could instead of going to 32 it could end up like at 27 or something and screw the tournament up... though, iris could then "invite" some people to compete in it to make it even, that'd be pretty cool.I think if there are any forfiets, his/her opponent should not just be granted automatic entry into the next round.

I don't think people should be banned for not finishing. For example, for me I haven't had nearly as much time as I thought I would; I've had 3 jobs going in the past 2 weeks, it's been very busy. I'll round it off and send it in, there's enough done - but I think banning people for not competing is a little extreme? Real life priorities should always come first imo. -

That's just fucked up right there. Don't get me wrong, I hate quitters, but they shouldn't be banned for it.I also agree with Toon on what he said, people should banned from NE for a certain amount of time if they quit, as it means the effort people have already put in is void, and that is unfair. You were warned by iris that by entering this comp you were going to have to put in the work.

Ouch..... IMO it's a little harsh.... Maybe for only one time per tournament?That means any contests...H2H, Survivor, Pro Tours, QFTB, etc.

yeah that really is not very fair, they did not know that could happen when they signed up, I think maybe use that for round 2, coz imo to spring that on them with 4 days left is kinda crule, it will probably get you more entrys tho, i'll give you that, lol. -

Wow... I guess it's a great thing I'm gonna turn something in...That means any contests...H2H, Survivor, Pro Tours, QFTB, etc.

Although harsh, I think its a wise move to enforce that rule. I mean iris doesnt come up with these contests to have people enter and then not submit an entry. If you are dedicated to this site, then the rule shouldn't be that hard to live by.If you don't get an entry in the first round, you will be unable to participate in any more NE Contests.
My entry is 95% done btw.
