Hate Speech War Report: Final Round XV

YOU FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART:

Ive been to Final Round the past 2 years in a row. This was my third and last Final Round until someone tells me after next year that it's been improved for the better.

Being told to be at the venue at 10AM and not knowing when(or IF) we are in the brackets AND being unable to find out our status in the bracket because the tournament runner told everyone to get the fuck away EVERY TIME was extremely frustrating.

Like you said Hates - the 2D players had their pool assignments done and posted online the night before which alleviated much of the stress in running their tournament.

Not doing the same for all major games played reeks of un-professionalism and laziness. Registration was closed on Friday afternoon. The organizers had all the information they needed to complete this task on Friday and have it ready to go on Saturday. Whether they were going to do pools or a 250+ bracket - it doesn't matter. They waited day of the tournament and it's a huge part of the reason there were so many problems for our tournament.

There is no excuse for that.
 
Final Round was my first tournament and I have to say overall I wasn't disappointed. Everyone I met was pretty nice and I even met a few people in my local scene that prior to the event I had no idea existed. After going 2-2 and playing some epic casuals I came to realize two things, 1 I'm better than I give myself credit for, and 2 I still have a LONG way to go before I can start placing in events. Though the whole bracket confusion thing was a real pain in the ass I still plan on this being my first of many FR I will attend in the future. (Though next time I'll bring headphones because I had no idea how Hype and crazy those ATL people are.)
