Gentlemen,
The fact of the matter was we wanted the semi-final game played next week; Dream Team had to play 3 games all in one weekend which made it impossible for our core lineup to play the most important game. I was forced to connect from a crappy machince to play as I was not even at home this weekend because we didn't have enough players for game time. A reschedule was refused.
This was the SEMI-FINAL! It did not need to be played immediately.
All previous weeks most teams had 1 or at most 2 games per weekend; not 3. The forced scheduling was unnecessary, ungentlemanlike and dishonorable conduct. We could have easily been accomodated by playing the following week.
Being uncooperative leaves us with a bad impression. Integrity and honor cannot be bought or sold.
I appreciate the effort all the BTT staff went to administer the tournament, but you could have afforded more patience in scheduling the last 3 games. No team deserves to be resented because they live in different time zones, and this bias was clear in the replay chat in the past few games the Dream Team played.
A lot of effort was made on my part to try to ensure we had good communication, even when I was away. It is not a big surprise at least 2 teams flaked at the start, but those team that went the distance should be afforded greater respect and cooperation.
The game should have been left for next week.
