Ya, but the point is the start time (3pm EST) ... :p

I just don't get it. The LAN is 14 days away, and a guy is less than 15 minutes past the alleged "deadline" and you can't just let him play.

Even after Diggity stated in the thread that since you were not around that he would be running things from the other thread.

What are you talking about? The time has been clearly listed in my thread from the minute I made it...
|
Then why wasnt the PM diggity sent me on July 22nd including the time?? Thats Kind of a MAJOR detail to have in a PM sending to players when he stated every other piece of information.

I don't know, why can't you read the op of a thread? I don't know why you wouldn't either read the thread, or ask a question if you were unsure of the time.

This doesn't even really matter. Why can't you just let him play? Theres 2 weeks until the LAN, and you have to admit, you never made an official cut off time for play.

The issue here is that a player that payed isn't being allowed to play. Start time may be 3pm and it may be well noted but there was absolutely no deadline set for when someone would be DQ'ed. If you're going to disqualify a player while not having a "Matches must be started by..." time set then there's a problem.
Also, after reading the entire OP I see no information regarding the qualifiers, was that handled expressly through e-mail and private messages or is there something I'm missing?

Ah ok thank you, reading that now
EDIT: After reading that OP as well there's still no deadline for starting matches.
|
I would like to thank Bubba for agreeing to play me, great sportsmanship. I really don't mind not qualifying aslong as i get to play and a fair chance at qualifying.
|
It's fine if you play your games, I don't mind O_O!

Again its an optional walk over
|
you never made an official cut off time for play. I made an official cut time. It was 3pm. Thats 3 hours. How long do you think is fair?
|
bubba beat me 2-0, thanks for letting me play, thats all i wanted!

I can't believe this debate lol
If it says "until however long it takes to finish" that doesn't mean in 10 days you go "ok, ready to start! Technically I can cause this goes forever until every game is played!"
There is a start time, people won't wait a ridiculous period of time for someone that can't be bothered to say "hey I'm going to be late" at a reasonable time. This transcends this event and is completely the norm for SC/SC2 matches.
I'm glad you got to play your games nero but you've been around long enough to know that if you are late without getting permission you are dq'd unless your opponent is a saint.

I dont know who I should be messaging. I've submitted paypal payment at 2:00 July 31st. There wasnt any notation on either post that the cut off for payment was at a specific time.

Geoff, ya I understand but in all the messeges I recieved it was never stated the start time. I don't understand why I can't just schedule to play this game? Also you dont need to grossly exaggerate with the 10days.. I'm pretty sure until however long it takes to finish was refering that the games would be played however long it took today to get them played. If not please explain to me what that statement is supposed to mean?
There was never a time that was considered the DQ time? Why can't I schedule a time to play the other person in my group?

There was a time, diggity said for today it was by 6 pm est. You can schedule a time to play the other people in your groups, but that was supposed to be done before today.
