Hi Dang,

    The choice is yours.  If you want to play one game and limit the number of players to 8, than this would be considered a "private" game.  Its the equivalent to putting a flag up in open gaming and asking players to join you.  If, on the other hand, you are willing to let as many players join you as want to play, fill out the appropriate paperwork, and play more than one round, if necessary, than you will be running a "public" event or tournament.
    Now, TI3E is somewhat special, since it has a history of drawing only 7 or 8 players, requiring only one game to determine the winner of the event or tournament.  Let me know what you would like to do with your event.

Shane, I don't fully understand this. As described I fall into this category with my Twilight Imperium game. I have an 8 hour slot with a limit of 8 players max. The game can't accommodate more than this so this means if I have more than 8 people show up I have to run more than 1 game?

approve everything left that is not a tournament.  I noticed that some 
of you have been submitting events and limiting the number of players to one game.  I will not be approving these as public events anymore.  If you 
are scheduling a public event, that means you are willing to take all 
comers, which may result in more than one game being played and 
therefore requiring more than one round.  This is especially true of new games that players are interested in learning.

submit the game as "Private."  Private games do not earn credit hours 
towards badges, but they are on the schedule.  If you have any 
questions, please contact me.
