How is it decided which clan will make the thread for Round One? Does seeding matter, or is it just worked out between the two clans?

Hey Benga,

Just checking in to see how your tournament is doing. Unfortunately nobody seems to care about the schedule. One war hasn't even started yet.

One of the war threads has no link to the clan war. Most of the war threads are not up-to-date.

As the TO you should keep things moving along. I would really like to see the above issues attended to.

Thanks in advance,

Lx

What do you mean no wars have started? They're all in the OP with a big fucking Challonge bracket.

Not to mention that according to the schedule we should be in semi-finals now.

He meant that one war has not started, not that every war hasn't started.

Do you not think it fair to cut a bit of slack to the person who's just taken over as head of the tournaments department and your fellow moderator?

I'm cutting him a lot of slack. That's why I asked him to address the issues. Privileges for the war I posted the link of, were granted July 14th, that's 6 weeks ago!

He may be the new head of the tournament department, I'm the new Clan Tournament Director. My responsibility is to make sure clan tournaments run smoothly. That's exactly what I'm trying to do here. How about cutting me some slack? Especially since you're not even participating in this tournament. And how about letting benga and me figure this out?

[iAmCaffeine]

How you gonna go into a public thread with a shitty attitude towards the head of tournaments and someone who devotes a lot of time to this site and then ask me to cut you some slack?

[benga]

I have asked Lindax to take over, at this point this is just too much for me to handle.

I see no shitty attitude here, apart from yours. So Caff, wind your neck in mate.

Thanks benga. I figured you were busy in Tournament Dept. Good luck there!

A few days ago, I sent this PM to the clan representatives in this tournament:

Hello everyone,

You may not be aware, but [player]benga[/player] will no longer be running the Invitation Cup. He does not have enough time to run the tournament. I will be running the tournament from this point on.

At this point, I assume every one of you want to continue to play in this tournament, so that is how I will approach you from now on. Let me know if this is not the case, and if your clan does not wish to participate any further. Our hope is that every clan will want to continue.

I have had a response from only two of you. I am still waiting from responses from those of you who have not responded.

That being said, LOTZ has decided to withdraw from the tournament, so DBD will move on to the next round.

[Razorvich]

so... if no one else replies.. we win right?

[Caymanmew]

[eddie2]

There all chicken shits.. But can we actually win a event without playing a single game ????
