Yes trying it out this week.

Had a few glitches with the sc2sea brackets lately, and this new z33k looks alright.

Had 60 players, not bad for our first week using the new z33k bracket program. I thought it worked very well. Shall probably use it again next week.

Any player feedback on z33k?

The z33k site was good. Live brackets, everything is linked to each other.

Once I figured out how it worked it's much more efficient than tracking someone down in a channel of 60+ just to tell them you rocked some kid off the internet.
