    My apologies for the upcoming judgement, along with the statement I made previously without thought to the given circumstances.

    Due to the general amount of games yet to have been played, most deciding whether Delibirds or Bravaries win, along with personal schedule conflicts with the TDs to update, the week will be extended for another day. This is to prevent strained situations within the matches remaining, along with personal schedules.

    The week will be completed tomorrow, Wednesday August 26th at 11:59 GMT -5, NO EXCEPTIONS.
    If you don't get your shit done, your problem.

    For managers and those who completed their matches on time, I offer sincerest apologies for the delay.

    Subbing out @NananaBatman and subbing in @Reik again

    This extension is bullshit. I had to make a substitute I really didn't want to make and lost the week because I respected the deadline as a manager. Why is this happening?

    You can't just extend a round because some guys decided not to play; not only is that unprecedented for a tour like this, but it's also incredibly unfair to the other teams who now have to wait and cannot take advantage of the extension to get their own matches done. You said it yourself in your post "if you don't get your shit done, your problem" - why isn't it their problem now? They had just as long as everyone else. Also, you can't do this after not offering an extension to the unfinished games last week, either, as that made a team lose week 1 6-5 because they didn't get their last game done...

    I know it's ideal to let as many games done as possible and you want to see that as someone who is in charge of the tournament, but you can't start making arbitrary decisions that aren't fair to all parties to ensure that matches get done all of a sudden.

    Even if you're busy (just saw your LOA post), you should have directed managers to send their line-ups to another TD who could post the OP or, at very least, a neutral third party that is uninvolved with the tournament. Prolonging the tour and giving some team(s) a potential unfair advantage is never ideal.

    No one from my team requested this and we even sent our lineup before the deadline.

    Just for the record, is that behavoir possible? I mean subbing out "player A" for "player B" and then subbing in "player A" again. I thought that once a player is subbed out he can't be subbed in anymore for that week.
    Also yeah, I know there are several games to get done yet but that's johns' fault, they should get their shit together, while teams who played in time shouldn't get disadvantages from this extension.
    This doesn't affect my team though so I'm actually not leaning on a side

    Isa's sub was a joke bud; we've already lost the week and that game specifically. The point is that the extension is BULL.

    If I could control the situation, I would. I am making this post from my phone because I have no internet, and cannot update the tour from my phone because formatting is awful on android.

    If I could've updated, I would have. Due to moving apartments, I was unable to get to the activities before Verizon turned off my connection last night, rather than Thursday, because I get a call at 12 am saying that due to an opening for a technician to come out Wednesday, they decided to give me a few minutes heads up. Due to those few minutes of warning, I had to make a decision that could be done within that timeframe, and compromise the tour the least.

    If I could control more aspects of the situation, I would. When Verizon calls me out of the blue, it is 24 hour service due to outsourcing by the way, saying that I have have a few minutes to save work due to them removing my service from my current apartment, on the day previous to the scheduled date, I made a decision that really does suck. I couldn't consult any TDs because none were online.

    As I said before, my deepest apologies. If I could have updated this, and kept the tour schedule on track, I would have. I wish I could've controlled it.

    I'm sorry.

    extensions in this kind of tours are not a good idea, at least, not an extension for a whole week (some critical matches should be given extensions under specific circumstances imo)

    that said, play your fucking games cykas

    I'll probably get yelled at by the tauros' again but I feel the need to say something. It was bad enough for them that reiku and I couldn't get our battle done on the day we scheduled due to our separate irl issues, which forced Isa and Finch to make a sub so they don't lose a game due a game to activity. This extension made that fuckin pointless as reiku and I would have gotten the game today if we knew about this and maybe the score could have been different. We actually TRIED to get the game done, while others are obviously johning like shit but somehow gets rewarded. Some of the other player requested activity because they wanted to play under schedule and not get into trouble that can affect their team. Making an extension basically claims activities useless which is very unfair to certain teams and the players who are tryin to get games done. You're punishing players that are doing the right thing, also punishing teams that are doing the right thing. There should be a week 3 already and wins given to the proper player who called for activity or at least shown that they were more active than their opponent. I understand that you couldn't do anything due to your own irl issues, but I rather have delayed week 3 starting than having this week continue because of activity circumstances... Not trying to tell you what to do @Withoutatrace but this is kind of ridiculous lol

    So ifm only replied to me today because he was at worlds over the weekend (idk how his managers expected him to play this week but who am I to judge), but I am leaving for a day tomorrow morning so I'm going to sleep now and I can't play tomorrow. Since I tried to get this done last week already, made an activity post on sunday already and since I can't play in a kinda questionable extension in the middle of a week I don't think forcing my team to sub me out would be a fair move. Sorry to dick you out ifm, but if I don't get this activity win I'm going to complain loudly how rigged this tourney is for the next couple of weeks.

    Feel free to tell me what to do, within bounds. I am very open to criticism, just, basically, don't be a dick about it. I know it's shit. I made the decision split second, without the ability of thought to be put into much of it, along with a lack of 3rd party opinion, due to the time constraint Verizon gave me. Verizon is utter shit by the way.

    Had I been able to think, I would've delayed Week 3, that is a great suggestion. If anything, that is the preferred route. I'm not saying I didn't fuck up, I know I did. In the end, you move on. I'm reaping the consequences, and unfortunately, others are as well, because it was a shit, splitsecond decision. I'm still deeply sorry, and I wish I could make it up, because it sucks and now I'm trying to fix as much as possible while moving apartments. Hindsight is 20/20.

    regardless of the outcome of this shitshow... (bc it doesnt affect me anyways haha!) ....

    props to withoutatrace for listening to people. for not being a cocksucking mod who thinks he can do whatever he wants cause some other 12 year olds with big egos small brains and way too much time on their hands gave him some badges and a fucking banner.

    Alright, first it took you more than two days to respond to my players VM which meant there is already one day less to play. As you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/3h2rP3f.png
    Then you should maybe actually scroll in the group you are both in up a little bit. My player did ask you to play on friday around 7pm est which is evening which is also in the timefreame he asked to play: http://puu.sh/jPjoE/4ad35a2428.png
    also you agreed to play at his evening and both of your screens show you sending him a message at 10am either est or w.e. your timezone is. that's not really the time you guys agreed to play isn't it???
    Posting this for my player as he is busy and requesting activity.

    Robert hasn't gotten a reply back since his opponent's nonsensical vm. I'm sorry about the irl stuff but he deserves an activity win. I contacted Alkov after the extension on smogon so I could sub someone in but he wasn't into the whole extension idea.
