I have a feeling this will happen more often with all the new tournaments popping up. | ||

If white-ra simply no showed without letting anyone know then yes, by all means dq him, but this sounds like something that the NASL knew ahead of time. They could have easily made an exception and moved the match either ahead or back. This has nothing to do with it being july vs white-ra... even if it was 2 random no names I'd say the same thing, but because it's two very promising players it makes it worse as a spectator because this was the highlight match of the day This is one of those times when common sense needs to be used rather than going by the book. If your rule book isn't written in a way that protects against situations like this then it should be. I feel like I was robbed because you guys are being sticklers. Reminds me of when people were getting DQd for saying ppp or not typing pp in the proper way. Rediculous. It wasn't impossible for White-ra to play his game as Sjow did. White-ra didn't make the effort to get in contact with the NASL, or get to a computer to play his game. Also remember, the players are not the only ones in the game, the 2 NASL spectators have to be in it too... that's why there is a schedule and rules, it's not so easy to reschedule because there will be game happening in the hours before July v White-ra and in the hours after. | ||

Grow up You do realize the NASL is pre-recorded right? White-ra and july could have played their games 2 weeks ago and we would have not been the wiser. This problem was 110% avoidable if the people running the NASL had some foresight. If the games were played live I would concede that they made the right choice, but the reality of the situation is that with it being pre-recorded they had many options to circumvent this problem. | ||

In the current setting NASL rescheduling options are nothing like the TSL's. They have like 10 staff with all kinds of high end equipment that all need to be there at a certain time preferably during their regular hours etc etc. Also their schedule is much more brutal and scheduling conflicts will not end here. If they reschedule this one they pretty much have to comply to a lot of others as well. | ||

Yeah, because it was pre-recorded, they gave White-Ra four hours of leeway. A live tournament wouldn't have been able to do that. | ||

Hell, I whine like a girl when they wake me up at 4 to admit some kid to the hospital. I know I'd never wake up for SC. Either stay up or sleep. Waking up is just horrible  | ||
