Somebody...there was a time stated as well as directions. If you did not come on time, you could not expect us to wait for you. I am sorry, but there are other people playing who do not have the time nor patience to sit around and wait for someone who is showing up late. We waited for you for fifteen minutes and then assigned a fill in to your spot.
Guest...the entire event was organized, but unfortunately, certain players refused to follow the directions. I did my best to travel between everyone and send messages, but if they are not read, there is nothing else that could be done. Likewise, complaining and constantly going AFK instead of paying attention is what led to confusion for certain people.
To All...This event was meant to be enjoyable and was far from it for me. There were numerous players who did not show up and then complained if they came late. I am sorry but in the real world you cannot expect that to happen.
A few things learned tonight are that you have to have a few alternates for each team of a tourney. I had one for each, but needed more as a few players did not show or showed very late. Next, you need to make sure that all players READ what matches will go on and where. I listed it clearly, but it was not followed which led to confusion. If anyone wants to make a tourney of their own, make SURE your participants print out your list of matches. Finally, have fun and ignore the complaints.
