According to Meltzer's site:

The entire thing is a mess because time is running out and of the 11 matches that would be necessary for each guy in a 12 man round-robin tournament, the guys have ranged from four to six matches completed with time running out.

So they are essentially dropping everything, doing the four matches this coming Thursday, and ending it from there with the top four point getters going to the 9/12 final four show.

The current standings (number of matches in parentheses:

1. Magnus - 39 (7)
2. Bobby Roode - 34 (8)
3. Christopher Daniels - 30 (6)
4. Austin Aries - 28 (7)
5. Samoa Joe - 26 (9)
6. Jeff Hardy - 24 (7)
6. Mr. Anderson - 24 (9)
8. AJ Styles - 22 (8)
8. Kazarian - 22 (7)
10. Joseph Park - 17 (8)
11. Hernandez - 7 (7)
12. Jay Bradley - 0 (7)

So apparently the Series is out of time, given that the finals are scheduled for two weeks from this Thursday at the No Surrender special. Yes, amazingly enough you can't have 12 guys wrestle 11 matches each in the span of a month. Basically everyone is about 2/3 of the way through their matches but the totals are going to be all over the place due to the inconsistencies.

How in the hell can TNA fuck up something so simple like the Bound for Glory Series? Ring of Honor, who's currently doing their World Tite tournament, started at the end of July, is inconsistent with the brackets due to matches being on tv tapings and they're STILL going to have their finals as planned. A monkey with no eye sockets could book TNA better than this shit. Take the focus away from the fucking MEM/A&8 story and you could get the BFG series done on time.

waste of my fucking time. TNA's planning as well as their product is going down the crapper.

Why the hell are they still focusing on the two team feud? It's gotten stale a while ago.

Urgh, they go from overkill with having a million matches in this on every tv and house show they run, to barely any...

If they continue this, it needs a re-think. I'd rather they run a straight knockout tournament or something.

I like how Dead has marked his favourites with funky little smiley faces.

It's a crap idea IMO. Scrap it.

As opposed to when TNA's product was out of the crapper?

The rabbit hole goes as deep as you want it to go. Frankly, I liked TNA before all these budget cuts happened and when they actually gave a damn about the talents they have, not a couple of MMA fighters.

Nah lol, for some reason some posts will mark a 8 as a smiley face. Dont understand why.

It's because you put 8 then closed the parentheses, and since 8 ) (Without the spaces) is the glasses smiley, it appeared like that.

the idea isn't crap, it's just they didn't plan things out well. A toury would have been alot easier tho to do then the point thing

It's worked for the past two years. Recently, things have been shitty with the budget cuts and all that, not to mention Aces and Eights vs. MEM to fuck things up. At least AJ is a face again.

I thought it was crap the last two years, too. Seems forced. Hate tournaments like this.

All it needed was more focus and it would have worked. It's been good the past couple of years minus the million matches that happened off screen...

He was always a face?  

^Was he?

The Bound For Glory Series is just a shit version of the G1  

I agree with it being a shitty idea that there were matches that were non-televised, but at least they let us know what happened. This year's is just a train wreck.

He's been a tweener for like the past eight months...
