EPTDes, our intention with this was to load test our site in preparation for the qualifiers on the 20th. To say the least, that was certainly accomplished. Our dev team is working tirelessly, and we anticipate all of this to be sorted out tonight. Thanks again for your patience.

The IPL qualifiers requires a $20 buyin right? Doubt they'll have any problem with mass sign ups (and it's a good system too imo.) | ||

As others have stated, this tournament is being used to test our mass bracket system and server capacity on a large scale before some of the big upcoming events (such as the IPL 3 Qualifiers) and obviously some work needs to be done/things need to be upgraded. Please sit tight while our guys sort this out and wait for my email to let everyone know when the bracket has been created. Are you able to tell us if the people who weren't able to Check-In will get another chance, or should I give up on the tournament? Either way, I'm not fussed; this is just information that I (and many others who weren't able to check-in) need to know. | ||

And there ya go, your out of the tournament this one guy is trying his best to help create. If you havn't checked your email, lately, neebsaga at playhem.com Thats his email. yea... nice tournament with 1hour 15min delay? + at least I'm asking how to pull out instead of going afk and having someone to wait 15min to take walk over over me but thanks for acting like a smart ass it was definitely needed. Now I know what I need to do. | ||

Now I know what I need to do. Desrow usually you cannot pull out of a tourney once checkin is over because the brackets are being generated then. There is a leave button on the tournament player lists page but it is greyed out. Also, if you read the OP they said this tournament is being held to test their system before IGN tourney. As it turns out it is good that they decided to test it. The site seems like a new startup and this is their first big tournament and they have some issues to sort out. While they are trying to improve things, we can help by being patient. | ||

We totally understand your frustration. Good news is the brackets are up! Please click refresh if they are not displaying for you. Good luck to all those competing!! The bad news is we unfortunately do not have a way to add people who did not check-in in time. We realize that most of you we're not able to due to site performance issues. To remedy the situation, please email me at Rdesanto@playhem.com and we will deposit $5 into your account to make up for you time lost. I know it isn't much, but it is the best we can do. Sincerely, we thank you all for your patience. Ryan | ||

It would be cool if the brackets were ctrl+f'able. Pretty hard to find yourself on such a large bracket. | ||
