I agree about the point with the waiting list, it should not be used after the round of 64.
I don't think that players who are eliminated should be allowed a chance back if someone else is unavailable (You were asked to be available enough to enter this tournament.) Yes, it sucks for the person who is eliminated, but it sucks more for the person who won the first round but is eliminated in the second due to a no-show by his normal competitor.
I am hoping there will be no more dropouts and difficulties myself.
Essentially we have a prize pool of 300$ here, maybe more. Come on people! Get motivated!
