Ok, let's try it again:

I'll be online saturdays and sundays around 17:30 - 20:30 (GMT-03:00) Brasilia at Smogon (away, just PM me)

Ok I completely forgot that I hadn't posted in here yet, for some reason I really thought I had done it a while ago.

But obviously this tournament is cancelled, there just wasn't enough reliability in the participants for it to go any further. I think that maybe we wont have any more official tournaments until they can happen in the actual game.

Thanks to everyone that did actually participate, and sorry that this had to happen.

I hope I'm not too bold in saying that I think that this was almost doomed from the start. I was really hopeful when I saw a lot of people sign up, but then when matches started being delayed, I was just hoping that it wouldn't come to this. I think this was a really cool idea, but unfortunately it didn't work out. Maybe in the future, when people are more active, we can have another tournament. Oh well

I think part of the problem was that the inactive players were given too much time to complete a match that they weren't going to complete anyway. I remember some matches had like a month the time to be completed but still they didn't do it. I think this also caused some of the *at that time* more active players to forget about it or just not have the time anymore or so.

Also the different timezones was annoying to work around but there isn't anything you can do about that except finding a mutual suitable time.

Yeah, that's always hard, but it's something that's going to become more of a reality once POL is actually released, considering we have players from around the world. I guess, for tournaments like this, we just have to hope that players can find time to get on and compete.
