2. You didn't know how the system worked. It sucks having to explain something nine times while playing.

3. The Tourny is not planned and executed well and there isn't much participation from the guy who organized it.

I had these feeling's prior to the match and I figured that this was going to happen. I am not upset that we lost, you all did a excellent job. Its just that this is a big waste of time for me. Good luck to all in the future.

By the way, whose idea was to put the tags for this thread. All that does is show your immaturity level and should be ostracized accordingly.

I'm sorry you won't be participating in the rest of the matches Dirtboy. I'm sorry things did not work out how you expected. If you want to discuss anything privately, you know how to contact me.

1. We had some guys that bailed out on us at the last moment or didn't show up for final role call. This is definately our fault, and we were told to gather up, exactly what you said "random guys" off the public TS and see if they wanted to play. And gathered up "random guys" we did. Though I agree that in major and strict competitions like TWL, if your guys don't show up, it's "too dang bad, you can't get replacements who aren't on your team". However, since this is supposed to be a friendly competition between different IHS's under TG, I, and the majority of others found it acceptable that replacements were fine to keep the game moving. Of course, our other option was forfeiting, because a re-schedule option was denied, so we played.

2. I think I can speak for most of the guys on my team when we all had the idea that this was going to be a one-round thing. There are two reasons we believed that. The first reason is because, http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlef...nal-draft.html

which inclined toward this being a 1 round thing (otherwise it would have stated that "the teams would be this team first", or "there will be two rounds played per match".

Secondly, I believe Nardini told us that the match would last 45 minutes. Many of us took into account that this was the time for the entire match and there would be no 2nd round. If we were misinformed, or missed any key information announced, please tell me.

I also took it far enough to see if there was a precedent set about how many rounds were played, and looked at the first match (10th vs. E1st) to see how many rounds they played. I found out that the round was forfeited by the 10th, so there was no precedent on the number of rounds played.

Lastly, I also feel that this tournament wasn't planned the best possible way (hence our misunderstanding with the number of rounds), and I'm sorry if your time was wasted and this whole thing caused some frustration (which it did!), for all of us. I'd also like to know what you mean about "putting tags" on this thread; the only way I comprehended that was that maybe my original AAR post was too "Irregulars" inclined. For that, I am also sorry, as I tried to make it as neutral as I could. I hope future matches/Tournys turn out better than this.

Respectfully,
