Body Saddle update.

"So, how do we want to handle this?"

Absent any (visible) input from others, I went to my piggy bank and made a withdrawal from my life's savings. Here's my "two-cents worth":

1. Random drawing for "post positions" (1-8);
2. Seed the fighters according to the draw; 
3. Match 1vs8, 2vs7, 3vs6.... etc.; (maybe avoid having stablemates face each other in the first round....OR NOT, your choice!)
4. Post the pairings and;
5. Ask for volunteers to write the fights;
6a. (if you get enough volunteers proceed to step #7!)
6b. (IF NOT, wait until next year and do it yourself - or ask again then!)
7. Get randomly generated, unbiased, etc., results from Lookout, or somewhere else;
8. Assign results to writers, giving them firm-but-fair deadlines for submitting their work;
9. After the first round (4 fights) (reseed? highest seed remaining vs lowest seed remaining) (for example: 2vs7, 3vs5, etc)
10. Get new results, repeat for semi-finals
11. Get new results for final.

WHEW! There, that was easy.... glad I'M not running this thing.
Of course, there are several other ways to do it, some probably simpler than above, but (as I said) since nobody else offered advice this was - my preferred method - easiest for me...i.e., offering "I told you so" advice, but not doing any ACTUAL WORK!!

(But please contact me if/when you ARE going to do the Body Saddle thing and I'll - probably - be able to help out in any way you want my help.)
