Yesterday is a long day for me. I continuously had to play in 8 hours vs 5 players. I was really tired in last games.
2 of my opponents are GiaA and GGmachine had to stop because they were too tired.
This should be a flexible tourney.
Yea, we felt a lot worse. I was there for the better part of 14 hours. Pretty much all the refs expressed concern about how long it was going on. Even just 6 hours in, we saw the discomfort of a lot of the players at the time it was going to take. We came *this* close to just bumping back the tournament a day, but we had no idea when the patch would come out (and splitting the open qualification tournament between patches is not a good idea, people would start complaining that they didn't have a good enough chance).
So you guys, as well as us referees, had to crack on. I stayed until the bitter end, from 2 two hours before check-in time to the overview of Han's final game with VindicareX on Rogers and Pounder's stream. Even in the US, that sucked up my entire day, from 8AM to 10PM.
Ah and thank you for your Fail against me in tourney : They forgot my checking-in so i was not in Brackets.
Fortunately or unfortunately i would stop to play at 19 h 30 coz i needed to moove (from house) in my new apartment.
Yea....that was honestly our fault. I checked the chat log from the coh2.org chat group (all 9,348 lines of them), and I did find you at 9:18 checking in. My apologies. :/
