The decision stands as we've moved on to the round 2 & 3 matches already. You guys should leave feedback here for my next tournament as to whether you think the 72 hours per game deadline is fine or if you think it isn't enough time for you to arrange a match. Bear in mind for this tournament (so far) it's been more like 100 hours as I released the brackets a day early. =)

Hey, Saltkin and I just had our matches today. I'm not sure if it can still count or not, but I'll report the results anyway. I took games two, four, and five, he took games one and three.

@Shidoshi - Not everyone signed up via the forums, so that idea wouldn't be viable for this tournament.

Brackets Update -

- Disqualifying players Saltkin and iiAyJayo.

- Allowing ZyZo to advance over LouisHaarp as ZyZo contacted me several times, was active and made multiple attempts to arrange a game. LouisHaarp was online occassionally but generally inactive during the 72 hours.

For my next tournament i'll kindly request that players should not sign up unless they are going to be active during the 72 hour match periods. :)

You'd probably get better communication had you made everyone use a single thread in the forums. Using the Steam community thingy makes this much more hidden and obscure.

Sorry the signups are closed!! I'll increase the amount of players i'll let in for the next tournament though =)
As for this one, I needed the number of entrants to be a square number to avoid having to give people free wins when doing the brackets. Seeing as there's a small prize it'd be a bit unfair if one person got a free pass on the first round and only had to play 3 games to win, where others would need to win 4 games.

Got it.

One of his registrations is on behalf of his friend who wanted to join but wasn't able to access a computer. He asked my permission first and I said it'd be fine.

Is Satanicaa's registering twice indicative of a shared account? Otherwise it looks like registering twice...

I'm always down for a 1v1 Tournament! Just as a note (as I run these things quite often) most people are honest. I wouldn't worry so much about having people take SS of end of games. I have yet to have 1 single dispute running tournaments since October last year. Good luck!
