I'm planning on talking with the owners and see what we can work out. Worst case scenario is that we just play normally, which is what I was planning on doing at the beginning anyway.
Also, I've been thinking over what Dacid said, if event mode doesn't work out. How about if someone beats me 2/3, they win their money, then An auto-rematch happens, where we play again until I win 2/3. That MIGHT mean that some people would be waiting really long for their turn, but it makes the most sense to me. What do you guys think?
