First, thank heavens A_E opened this thread and took it out of the Shout Box. Kudos A_E
Second, when everyone who has taken a pop at A_E calms down, organising big tourneys is time-consuming, fun, but wow! Does it have the capacity to bite back!
The cynic in me says nobody will ever create the perfect tourney for anything, online or in RL. The naysayers will always be there. You cannot please everybody. And we are all human: making mistakes is written into our DNA.
If this thread continues, please post with respect, and an understanding that there is no conspiracy. All that tourney organisers ever want is to please. Without them you would either be doing your homework, writing your thesis, carrying out domestic chores, or twiddling your thumbs, wondering why there are no tourneys.
