You haven't even posted the final standings?

I assume since I got no reply to my previous post that we're free to play whoever we like. Going to struggle to get 5 players anyway. :/

Looking at the way the OP is set out it would appear FaDe came 1st, VB 2nd, AsG 3rd and then Crux-ToR 4th

Erasmus has informed me he couldn't get off work early on the night of this event and I may be taking over administration of this round of the PDCL so any questions or queries run them by me if you can't get in touch with Erasmus!

2 out of 4 ain't bad

the standings before last week AsG is has an equal amount of match wins to VB, but 4 more set wins which puts us ahead of them.

we proceeded to win 4-0 over TA in the final round, while VB lost 2-4

how did they finish ahead of us? :S

If you are going to be abusive at least do it correctly. It's "way to ******* go". Not "wait a ******* go". That doesn't even make sense.

Hey!!! The finals are on my birthday Yaaaaay crux - ToR best be in it make me proud

[VB_WhiplashJC]

Del can you go back in time and admin this from the start? There is no way we should be #1, the whole tournament is a shambles.

Can't go back in time, but I'll give the results a once over and try to confirm or correct any errors with the captains of the teams. If you haven't already posted your clan's detailed results for each round in either the PDCL main thread or the appropriate round's thread please do so. Also, add me on Bnet or PM me here if you have something that you think needs changing.

In addition, to teams competing in this playoff (for now we will assume it is right until shown otherwise) please let me know if you won't be able to meet the minimum player requirement on the day, and what day/s you will be likely to play the finals so we have enough time to arrange a different play date.

[VB_WhiplashJC]

Highly unlikely we will be able to make tomorrow night, working on getting a team together. Holidays/other games are a bitch.

Wow this is unbelievable.. Here we have 1 guy taking time from his busy schedule( I know he has been working real hard) to try to organize this for everyone to enjoy. And what do people do to thank him? Some mistakes he makes and people jump to bring him down..
Have you all considered how hard it was for him to run this whole event? With 3 teams also pulling out creating a mess for all the match ups and brackets? What I dont get is why are people so concerned about the placements of the play offs who cares who came first or fourth we are still in the play offs I think my team crux-tor have an advantage coz I get more practice with more games played before the finals If we make it that far.. But people are all into their standings and rankings when this was meant to be a friendly way for the clans to connect and have a competitive feel to practicing with one another..
Rly it's a shame how people don't see what goes on in the back ground but are so quick to point fingers...
Mayb nxt time you organize it and see how it feels when everyone points fingers at you for lil mistakes because this just ruins the it...
Erasmus is a good guy and you all should thank him instead of harassing him..

Although I agree zula, perhaps instead of giving the clans a day to organize a 5 man team, he gives them a week?

I'm sure he is busy, but so is everyone else. You know most people have real life things to do too. And usually they schedule these things days in advance.

Announcing the teams are scheduled to play the next day is a bit of a low blow... Especially for the smaller clans...

agreed, i'm sorry erasmus/other admins if i came across as upset/abusive/...harass...y?

i was just confused

[VB_WhiplashJC]

If I was just saying he's done a shit job then what you say would be valid. How unresponsive he's been (not just to VB) doesn't help.

He's made a mess of the match ups himself, not the teams pulling out.

I won't put my hand up to run it because I'm one of the leaders of a participating clan, which was one of my criticisms.
