    I saw Jack Danger post about this tournament format/software and wondered if anyone has more info or knows where to get a copy?

    Would also appreciate a link to the software, please

    Not available yet. Guys who created it are still fine-tuning and figuring out how to get paid for hundreds of hours of development. They ran one of these at Logan in Chicago last night and it was awesome. Match play on crack, a marathon of sprints. More games than a day of Pinburgh packed into three hours.

    Did those guys ever figure how to monetize that software ?

    assuming this is a real question, Flip Frenzy is an option through MatchPlay

    Yeah was real, the software that Jack pointed out, is that what is integrated into Matchplay now ?

    One of the guys in our group was suggesting Matchplay's flip frenzy option was limited, somehow was not going to work for our upcoming event. So was trying to find alternatives..

    What's the format you're trying to play? Matchplay let's you define the queue size and time limit. Then, for the duration of the tournament, when a game finishes, put your results in and player two from that game enters the back of the queue, the first position in the queue becomes player one in a game against the other player who just finished

    That was the format we played. We ended up using something custom to to run the frenzies, with some added logic to help balance out total number of games played for people who were in the queue. So was not really a first in first out, but would promote people in the queue who played less than others waiting. So it was probably options around those. Altho for next time we run a frenzy may look into Matchplay and see if that would be a better choice, as we did use that anyways for the finals..
