Hey guys, I just finished up sending out all the PMs.
If you are participating and I somehow missed you, please tell me now. I didn't initially send out the first PMs for CDAWG and SgtGiraffe, so it is crucial that you tell me if I am not thoroughly contacting you. Thanks.
Since I forgot to mention how the process of randomizing will occur, I will state it here.
I will be using the site
http://www.random.org/lists/
I will list all your names in alphabetical order.
I will click randomize on Monday December 9th at roughly 11pm eastern or 4:00:00 UTC and it will be timestamped as "2013-9-12 4:00:00 UTC", the seconds will most likely be not exact.
Then based on the format I will assign the partners.
In this example, the partners will be assigned as follows:
Xel' Naga will gift to Avenger
Avenger would gift to Boldat
Boldat would gift to Ruelel
Ruelel would gift to DanHack
DanHack would gift to CiNiC
CiNiC would gift to Rhi
Rhi would gift to Xel' Naga
If you believe you were unfairly matched or that the partner I told you does NOT match who you were actually assigned to, you can approach me via PM and I will show you the screenshot, but it will be edited via Microsoft Paint to censor all names besides your own and the following name.
If you believe this is not a valid method to select random partners, this weekend would be the time to speak up, both on this thread or in PM.
Once again, I'd like to thank you for your participation and cooperation.
