If you still plan to be in the tourney then please leave 1 topic that you would like to see someone else use for a TD.  If you still can't come up with a topic then you may pick one from the Extra list.  Please tell me.  If you still want in then I need you to sign up.  We will have the brackets out Wednesday and I also need to talk to Stauff if you are around.  If you don't show up then I'll need a fourth volunteer to help myself, Bigalke, and jeevs organise the tourney.  Good luck to all and thanks for you time.
