Alright, so I downloaded and installed the AC. Added Metrex to Firewall exceptions to Norton 360. I logged onto it with my csn info and that went fine. I get on the game and after a while I get this:
So this means Metrex offshoots another exe of some kind from within the program? Anyway, I don't know if everyone will be able to figure this part out if that happens with every AV program, since the appdata folder is hidden by default. You should let people know how to add hound.exe to their exception list as well. -
Hello there. I'm the Metrex programmer. Metrex and Hound work hand in hand. In the interest of using the most recent build of Hound (which I update very frequently), it is downloaded when you start using a game Metrex is designed to look at and then is executed.
Between the two, Hound is a program that does additional work to look for cheating behavior, but it looks as though Norton blocked it for having very few users and being very new. I have put in a ticket with Symantec (Norton's developer) to whitelist each of the programs though. Thanks for the heads up! -

Your mistake was having Norton. -

Why are brackets released 10 minutes before the game?

The system works by allowing teams to check-in up to a certain point. After the check-in period is over the admins can randomly or manually seed the active teams, and after this the brackets are generated. The system eliminates most bye/forfeit wins.Probably so there won't be a dozen BYEs like in every other tournament
Yes, pretty much sums it up.

now I just hope it works well!
