Moderator: Tournament Directors
HighlanderAttack wrote:So when does this thread run its course? You have the same people saying the same thing over and over trying to make their point or defending their opinion. Same thing over and over and over again and that includes me.
Some think it is a big issue while some don't.
Ultimately it is not hard to navigate through 2 pages or even 3 pages. Even when it was one page the tournaments that people did not want to join would stay at the bottom. If it is a good enough tourney it will fill in the 30 days and if it is not it won't.
No matter what everyone will continue to have their opinions and what one side says is not going to change what the other side thinks.

Waaay off topic, but,
How many of those were colton's? In a quick scan through the abandoned tournaments I see at least 6 belonging to him.
denominator wrote:Of those 123 spots, there are only 36 players involved in the tournaments. In fact, if you look at all 10 of them, there are about 8 players in each one, and about 10 more in at least 5. Sure, the tournaments fill quickly, but that's because it's the same players playing in all of them.
Half of the players in the 16 player 1v1 style tournaments always play every 16 player 1v1 tournament. Which means there isn't high demand for it, simply that you have cornered an audience.

You should be ashamned of yourself you hipocrite. I took no pleasure in cacnelling my tournamnets and have appologized to those players that were expecting the tournmants, but have decided I am no longer wasting my time on CC tryig to make it more fun for other players when the site is filled with people like you who only bitch and do not do anything yourself to help this site flourish.
And as far as NIghtstrike adding that post, when he knew that 6 of those 11 were cancelled beccasue of this thread and his completelly biased support, just goes to fuel the fire that I have for those who do not appreciate what the few tournamnet organiozers, who have been obviousally targeted here, have done.

It states clearly in the tournament rules that tournaments will have 30 days to fill, and if they don't, they are automatically cancelled. The 6 in question were actually given 35 days (Dec 11 opened, Jan 15 closed) to fill and still didn't.

This complete discussion started at Jan 7 (easy to check for anyone who would like to do). Next step is assuming that the data of denominator is correct (not checked by me). In that case at the start of this dicussion the 30 days were nearly finished for those 11 tournaments. Therefore the best reason to even mention those 11 tournaments is just to manipulate the mindset of people about this subject and clearly it had no realistic relation to this subject.

Just like a cook is a bad player and there is not excuse except they are bad
Tournaments that are not filling are tournaments that people don't want to join because the are bad --weather that be because of concept or tourney director.

Organizer, not director.

It's all individual. I believe that if someone is creating too many tournaments it will soon become quite apparent. Then (and only then) should the mods step in to either offer assistance or put an end to the organisers endeavours.

You, like many others, have missed the point of this topic (at least the point that Bones was trying to make at the beginning!). Question isn't how many tournaments somebody can/should run! What is important and point of this topic is that some people consider a problem when a player posts 10 (very very similar) tournaments to Create/Join all at once because it's disrespectful to other organisers.
I don't want the topic to become hot again because it's clear that everything has been said already but had to clear this out. Understand what the topic is about!!

There is nothing wrong with that. If there is, it will be clearly evident that the person is taking the piss and then they will be dealt with.
Breathe now amazzony, go to your happy place.

JoshyBoy wrote:Ok ok I'll admit I sometimes can't be bothered reading properly.
What I meant by my reply was that it's absolutely fine creating like 10 almost identical tournaments if it's appropriate. For example, a series with the same game settings but each tournament has different maps. However if someone is just taking the piss, it will be apparent and hopefully dealt with.

Can't really "deal with" anything when there isn't a rule against it. The Etiquette rules in the handbook are not steadfast rules like the policies, they are only guidelines/suggestions.
