There is no official masterpoint limit for B, although I've been trying to keep things somewhat balanced. A big complaint last year was that there weren't enough good teams in the 2nd bracket so the season lacked suspense. I'm hoping that the field will be a lot stronger/more consistent this year with the 3 brackets so as long as a new pair aren't top A players than it should be fine.

A few days ago (well after Round Robin signups ended), one pair informed me they wanted to play with a different pair. When we talked they said they were fine running it as a 6 bagger, which didn't seem like a problem.

However, I'm not sure who else to reach out to at this point. Building the existing 24 teams exhausted pretty much all my ideas of people who might play or be otherwise interested in the Round Robin.
