Okay positive terms. What went well:
The tournament went well for the first 3 rounds as each team had only 1 game to play.
Round 4 was a bit more difficult to arrange as each some teams had 2 games to play. That didn't go as well.
Round 5 was scheduled unfairly: Only 1 team had to play 3 games, ALL other teams only played 1 game. It is not fair for 1 team to have 3 games and all other teams to have 1 game. It doesn't matter what team it is, it is unfair scheduling to them and they should have a right to reschedule at least 1 of the games.
So, in the future if you schedule it this way, be sure to provide some flexibility for any team that has to play more games in the same weekend than other teams. Learn from this.
This is especially true when they indicate they cannot make the 3rd game of the same weekend, and completely unreasonable for the tournament staff to refuse a reschedule. Forcing the team to play a 3rd game in 1 weekend or lose by default is an unfair process for ANY team. Also, allowing the enemy (who had no games that weekend) to decide if a reschedule will be allowed against a team who had to play 3 games is an outrageous conflict of interest. Anyone who does't see the conflict of interest is an idiot and has no intellectual integrity.
Fair and reasonable for everyone would be to arrange it so every team only had 1 game per weekend, as it is reasonable to expect teams to find a good time to play 1 game per weekend.
I'm tired of people posting here. TKF please close my thread after this post.
