IN RAGE

PROLOGUE
I've already had the idea for this Tournament months ago. It started with a ''interest check'' topic at tc.com...good old memories. Since there was enough interest, I decided to carry on with the idea. The keyword of this Tournament was FUN. I've always stressed that commucation would be very important and that IRC could be usefull for this purpose. I've said that players must take initiative to contact each other and arrange something; not only close before the deadline, but well on time. It's not fun when you're facing an opponent who doesn't seem to take any initiative or is almost nver online.
There have been situations when I personally had to insist people on playing their matches against their opponents. Many times with success, but sometimes also without it. I even had to kick some people out!
I'm tired of putting energy into this. It might have been my own fault by not stressing this too much during the Tournament.
I've decided to be stricter now, so that those who are still in this Tournament, won't be facing this kind of problems.
It's time for measurements.


EDIT: The text in RED isn't true. IT'S FALSE! I've ''kicked'' t-block out of the Tournament, to get a respond from him. It took a while, so then I begin losing hope that he would respond...but 3 days later: I did get a respond. There was a simple reason why he wasn't able to communicate: It was something with his laptop not being okay.
Anyways: He's convinced me that he would be more online now...
and the match between Rosti was finished.

I'm now restoring the ''old schedule''. Sorry for the commotion. t-block is still in the Tournament.

TIME TO MAKE DECISIONS

A)
t-block is kicked from this Tournament. It was a very hard decision for me, because I know he's a strong player. I've thought about it carefully and even had doubts about it, because I somehow do have the feeling that he's trying his best to play. But I came to the conclusion that it just doesn't work out. Maybe trying your best isn't enough sometimes? In contrary to Rosti who has been online at IRC every day, I'm having difficulties communicating with him directly. And it was not only this match, but I've already been facing difficulties at earlier stages. Since the semifinals will be recorded, communication will be even more important. I've lost faith in him being more online.

This decision has the following consequences:
- t-block will officially finish at the 8th position.
- Rosti proceeds to the semi finals.
- iphys, Kevcel and Zemus play for positions #5, #6 and #7. They will play against each other in a group. Rules will be announced within 24 hours.

EnFuego and Shibbypod:
I know you both are actively trying to find each other to play. I've often seen both of you coming online, but never at the same time!
You've had a week to arrange a time and date...

I now give you 48 hours to finish this match. I cannot let the opponents wait for you any longer. I this match won't be played within 48 hours, none of you will proceed to the next round. If this happens, an ass, Edhuge and Kevin will play against each other in a group stage for the positions #9, #10 and #11.

EDIT: Decision B will NOT be changed.

<applauds>

I was really hoping we could do another TDS tourney in the future, but apparently it's hard to count on everyone playing their matches. If we ever do have another tournament, maybe we should do something more like the blockbox league, so it doesn't hold other people up from playing if certain matchups don't happen.
