tio tournament organizer is the sole and entire work of Neal Terrell (nealdt/Influenza/InfluenzaSWTA on various forums), from concept to design to implementation to testing. However, several individuals have provided invaluable services throughout the development of tio and deserve mention here:

• Champ: early design help, encouragement, and friendship.
• jjl: design help and bug testing, including the first real test of tio's online capabilities.
• PrinceZane: continuous support and testing during his popular INNsomnia events. He is also possibly the best beta tester in the world.
• KishSquared and KishPrime: a plethora of ideas that greatly enhanced the utility of the round robin mode.
• Members of the Smash Back Room and Pacific West forum at Smashboards.com: beta testing and support.
• LightningStorm: whose program, Tournament Maker 2, provided the inspiration and high standard for tio.
• Sajith M: for his Visual Studio .NET Style Menu code.
• Gerry Sumner Hayes: for his double elimination losers' bracket scheduling algorithm.
• Ron Shepard: for his group order seeding algorithm (adopted as Location seeding in tio).
• adamjb: inspiration behind a variety of station manager and bracket viewer ideas.
