Signed up!
Two ideas:
1) Specify the duration of the sign up period in the OP. I'd suggest giving a day and time that sign ups will be over. Possibly Saturday at 6pm or something.
2) I'm an idiot, but it took me a minute to realize that the page I wanted was "Playoff Signups". I was looking for GWJ Ascension Cup, or possibly Tournament.

signed up!
I'm in- thanks for organizing this.
Alright, signed up after I figured out how to take screenshots on the iPad. I don't want to learn anymore, dang it.

Home and Power buttons at the same time.
If you've done it right, the screen flashes white, and you get that trademark 'shutter' noise.
16 is too neat a number, so I signed up.
Can't have an odd number, so I signed up
Thanks for organizing! I'm in.
So I just remembered I'll be away from my iPad for the next 10 days or so, so depending on when this starts and when the first round has to be over I'll probably have to bail on this.
20 people signed up... nice!
Anyone ever heard of Challonge.com (http://www.challonge.com)? Looks like a website dedicated to managing brackets for you. Kinda cool (but hard to really dig into from an iPhone :-P)
I'm taking bets as to how many skimmers think TheWalt's post constitutes the actual bracket. Do I hear one, just for openers?
Bigred is the mc of ceremonies (and controller of the OP), so skimmers should refer to OP for official rules. I'll edit my comment to prevent filthy skimmers from filth'in it up too much. I'm just throwing out ideas to help make this thing smooth.
It may be easier to manage thru Challonge than through Google Docs, but it will require getting 22 people signed up with new accounts on the Challonge website (free, as almost all social media sites are these days). I'm not a web guru, but they do offer webcode to integrate into other sites.
And yes, Challonge looks a lot better on the iPad ;-).
Checked it out on my computer... it's pretty cool. with the 22 people we have signed up, it's a little difficult to get everyone started off on level ground... here's what Challonge came up with for a double elimination bracket:

Okay, I don't know how to post pics, but the links above should work.

BigRed, just signed up for the Chollonge account and added my ID to the sheet.
Anything that reduces your leg work, I'm all for. Thanks again for organizing the league!
In related news, I'm coming for you Councellor! (not really)
EDIT:
Looks like server issues at the moment. Three attempts to connect and no luck. The one time I did, it then informed me of a disconnection...
Oh well, back to HeroAcademy and POCKET planes for now
Nice! Great work bigred!
My Challonge ID is also TheWalt (updated in the signup sheet as well).
Good luck to everyone!

Hey, cool, live-updating embeddable bracket image:
Hey Cyrax, I declined your invite because of the other game we had going, wanted my name to be on top of the list so we could differentiate. Then realized we'd only taken 1 turn in that one, so I just forfeited it so we can start tournament games w/o getting confused. Sent a tourney game challenge to you.
Just to be sure, is there any rule for who invites whom? I rescanned through the OP and didn't see anything other than preseason saying to work it out in PM...
That confused me anyway, is there any difference in who invites whom other than which name is on top? If there is, feel free to re-invite if you want Cyrax, I just didn't want the confusion.
