I think its time for some of those penalaties players were told they would face if they messed around while lane cleaners. Also, I want to see the actual brackets.
We're working on that, I get you're upset about that. Also, would a please kill any of you!? I'm not a dog, you can't order me around. Yes, I will post the brackets since for some reason you all doubt me, but the next time someone barks orders at me when I'M the one who organized this whole thing you will get chewed out. I don't deserve any disrespect. If it weren't for me and Shinobi, none of this would be going on. Obviously there will be a few bugs the first tournament. But I do not deserve to be ordered around. If you have a request, say it nicely, or I disqualify you off the bat for disrespect.
I understand you feel ordered around however there are a few things here. The brackets should have been available from the start, this was not the first time they were requested. Ideas should have been fleshed out better ahead of time, and it seems there should have been more communication between the two tournament runners. Everyone appreciates what you have done here however if you are unable to accept some criticism OR responsibility when something goes wrong then perhaps this is not the right thing for you. Also you can not arbitraily add reasons for disqualification. I understand respect needs to be maintained but there is a difference between lack of respect and criticism. Sadly when you are in charge there is never the respect given that should be, you need to have a thicker skin and be the bigger person. Again its great that yourself and Shinobi put this together but remember since your the ones in charge, when something goes wrong its both of you that people are going to get angry at. Thats true in the real world, not just here. the people in charge get the blame. Just look at the number of forum threads that have been made about the mods and how things are all our fault.
Thank you for finally posting the brackets. After looking at them though I can tell you they are not proper double elimination brackets. You can see proper double elim brackets here
http://www.crowsdarts.com/brackets/tourn.html If you want to take that as another criticism so be it however it is simply pointing out that the format is incorrect. there are byes too late in the tournament to make it fair.
