Map Master Triples Edition: France [Winners: Post 1]

[amazzony]

Thank you, shane, for the kind words! I really appreciate them!

Tobikera, I'm not a circus bear who has to start dancing as soon as the trainer tells me to. I'm a human being and tournament is organising is my hobby. I do not have to check the games every hour and not even every day. I'm quite sure that most players and organisers are happy if tournaments are updated once per week. I'm more demanding and want to check/update them at least twice a week. Depending on the weeks and how much work I have with my 3 part-time jobs, sometimes I let it slip and don't get to update my tournaments as often as I wish but the times when it goes more than a week without an update, is rare.

About this specific situation. I updated the tournament last time on 05 Dec 2010, 11:26 am. Right now is 08 Dec 2010, 10:17 which means that I last checked the tournament 3 days ago. When I did that then the last game of Round 2 had NOT finished yet because it ended 05 Dec 2010, 11:11:52 pm.

Conclusion. Tobikera, remind yourself that all tournament organisers are doing this as a volunteer thing - a hobby - and guys like you are ruining the good name of tournament players.

About Round 3. I most likely won't find time to set it up today but tomorrow I should have a day off so I will try to send out first game of semifinals on Thursday.

[Tobikera]

My apologies for my impatience. I know that you run a lot of tourneys, and am constantly amazed by it. Don't know when you sleep, as I stated in my message. Anyway, we got done early I guess and it seemed overlong for round 3. I ready when you are, and once again, sorry for acting impatient.

Tobi

Thank you, apology accepted!

Also, I might of overreacted a bit with my answer but I felt that I didn't deserve it because I've never (un)intentionally delayed a tournament and I find that my updates are done in a timely manner which cannot be said about all organisers. The fact that I'm not always posting to the topics doesn't mean that I don't keep an eye on the tournaments as often as possible.

Therefore, hopefully we can move on without foeing and hating each others guts!

I'll be also sending out semifinal games today, as soon as I post this message. And to answer your question - then going to get some sleep

[amazzony]

Round 3. Standings updated! First game is (almost) over for both matchups and therefore I've sent out second game of semifinals to everybody.

Looks like your invites for team 2 expired without getting filled.

Looks like your invites for team 2 expired without getting filled.

It will take a few days before the game begins because sdh's teammates have gone freemium and now I'm waiting for them to either go back to premium or get a spot open for the game. It shouldn't take too long but a couple of days for sure. I find it better to wait for them to be able to continue in the tournament, rather than just replace them in this late stage of the tournament.

[amazzony]

If ADBEELINHO doesn't join the game before his invite wears out then he will be replaced by hmsps. I don't wish to do it in this stage of the tournament but it seems that I have no other choice.

[amazzony]

Finals. Standings updated! Second game of the finals is... finally active and hmsps is taking part of it.

[amazzony]

Finals. Standings updated! sdh, sekretar, hmsps have tied the score to 1:1, third game has been sent out.
