Dream Team Semi final

[GEN_Schwarzkopf]

Let us learn from this. Rules like laws need to be amended to ensure they do not cause injustice.

when 2 teams are playing, and when they want to play at different time and not willing to compromise with the other, there are no better way to solve it comparing to the one we are using now.

We did not even get a chance to make a compromise on the schedule of the semi-final game. It was "you have to play the game now or you lose". That's not negotiation, there were no compromises even considered.

There could have been more patience on part of the scheduling since we had 3 games in one weekend. We were happy to reschedule with Next-Gen. This factor alone should have been grounds to accomodate a scheduling request. It's not like there were still 14 teams waiting on us; so forcing a schedule at that stage of the tournament is completely arbitrary.

This is your tournament Oliver, if you say you cannot force Old_Sluts to reschedule/remake but you forced us to play a semi-final game when we were unable to play.

1. The rules like a constitution should be amended to ensure fair play, including mid-tournament. Althend makes a good point, if this is a beta test, we need to take this discussion seriously for the next BTT.

2. The semi-final and final games should be arranged at a mutually agreed times. Since there is no further games after the semi and the final, nobody is hurt by being reasonable about scheduling or delaying a game a week.

3. No more than 2 games per team per weekend. If unless there needs to be an exception it should be agreed in advance in writing from the team leader that they can play 3 games in one weekend.

These rules ought to be adopted for the next tournament and a remake should be arranged for this weekend to set the correct precedence in this case.
