It's not a 'little' unfair, it's outrageous. Essi's refusal to reschedule was moral hazard.
I had made it clear to him and everyone there present that we were at a decidedly large disadvantage because not only did we have 2 subs instead of the usual line-up, I could not play from a proper computer. The game would be an easy win if he refused and he knew that full well.
We'd just finished 2 tournament games and even making it for the 3rd game in the same weekend was a completely unreasonable expectation.
When I saw the original schedule (now edited) I thought there were going to be a maximum of 2 games per team, narrowing the brackets only so far. It was not apparent to me that we would even have a game on Sunday; we'd just advanced 2 brackets from 2 games! Talk about a scheduling nightmare for the winning team; especially since the other team got a 5th round bye into the semi-final.
The BTT staff split up all the work and effort to referee all these games, and yet somehow found it acceptable to expect 1 team to be able to play 3 games in one weekend. That was wrong.
If BuG or the BTT organizers had even a shred of moral fibre they would see that the semi-final bracket should have been reschduled to the following weekend, and that we should have had a RIGHT to request it.
If there is anyone left with integrity they would offer to make up for this egregious mistake and arrange the semi-final for next weekend at a mutually agreeable time.
