I definitely think we could and probably should do something about the tournaments. Something to discuss with TournamentMaster later. I dont think think there needs to be less but they have been a bit helter skelter as of late though.

I dont think think there needs to be less but they have been a bit helter skelter as of late though. I’d love your take, ~KB~, on the idea that was presented on Discord. The idea that online/virtual could have their own Galacticup and that InPerson could have their own. The idea of the following four tournaments makes sense: Legends, COTG, Indies, and Canada Cup. Then you just have a four man Galacticup Final four. If you truly want eight - just have both the winner and runner up in each of the four qualify for Galacticup. It cuts down on time, gives more time for talking, Trivia, copromoted cards where folks can roll in their feds with other promoters, etc. Maybe gives time to actually roll out the best of 7 Between Magnum T.A. and Nikita Koloff?

I would love more panels, heck I'd even love Rob, Grant or even you Barry having a panel and just talking about your fed and game history.
I wish Tom had gone last and gotten more time so we could read and let new set sink in.

I don’t know how many people would want to hear about my fed - I am not sure I want to hear about it and it is my fed, lol.

Wasn't many questions asked during the panels. I saw a lot of people not really listening during mine and Zeke's. It's fine but I don't know what else needs done to make them better.

The problem I had with the in person panels was that it seemed the audio set was more for the online attendees than those in person. I think the table should have been closer so those speaking on the panels wouldn't have had to speak as loud to be heard in person.

A fun listen, although there were a bunch of time I was yelling at the podcast with corrections. Also, I cant believe Stu forgot I was in his group at Destroyer Park Golf! On Sunday, since no one was there a small recap of the end. I won my bracket after a 5 way tie playoff. Then beat Kevin W before losing to Josh in the finals. I beat Josh in the Semis with Bruno before losing to Larry D online who had Big Van Vader. I liked the Sunday venue, it was small but was perfect for what we needed that day. Not good for Saturday but fine for that day. Also it was fun having all the Canadian snacks. I'd be interested to get more feedback on the con and how to restructure for next year. Tournaments were smoother when I didnt also have to worry about the food and the online folks. The Trivia was missed but I have questions from Jim Steinhoff and Troy for when we do it next. Just ran out of time with the video and getting things set for online. I have heard all sorts of suggestions on the panels and open to some new ideas there for sure.

I desperately miss the days of drawing numbers and being allowed to choose our own wrestlers. I hate the idea of being assigned wrestlers. There really isn’t anything fun about using a card you didn’t choose. The Q&A’s are pointless. I’m not complaining. I get it. I understand (especially with legends) why some names can’t be spoiled ahead of time. But we’re going on like 7 years of sitting around getting absolutely zero extra news at these things. It’s very copy and paste by taking turns saying they can’t answer that right now then showing a new piece of art. We could get rid of them all together. I would have preferred something instead like Grant doing a live podcast w Tom for 45 minutes taking about the process behind Myth Worlds or something.

The live podcast idea would be cool! Yeah the panels didn't give away anything but that's prolly what they need to do. We are so focused on future we are missing out on past and present. Maybe preparing more questions in advance as a guest or as a group might be good too like they do on their podcast.
Tom's I wasn't ready for, now I have so many questions that I've gotten to go through the book and cards.
I would much rather pick a wrestler than get stuck with Nacho Barrera. Or have someone in my bracket get stuck with Rundarr. Something else like Trivia would have been good.
I like panels and messaged Todd even doing round table discussions between people would have been fun. Put Tom at one table, Legends crew on one, indies on one and heck even put you Rob at one. Allow 30 minutes and let promoters move between tables and just talk about your feds and what your doing. It gets those creativity juices flowing ya know.

The biggest problem with letting people pick is bringing all the cards that would be necessary. If we do a preset list but people pick who they take, that would work. Still, I'm open to ways to fix that.
Q and A to me is 2 1/2 hours of killing Con time. Everyone just sits quietly or goes outside to talk. We're not going to get anything in advance and people for the GWF are still digesting (Legends and Indy don't have storylines so all we really get is stuff like how so and so got signed for the game)
I really wish we had done trivia but hopefully we'll find a way to get some done.
