Yeah, let's rock it Saturday. Hopefully not too late in the day if possible - many big (American) college football games since it is opening weekend. But if it has to be later, that's fine; duty calls.

Find me in MSN

Yeah. Fuck man. I guess SirG and I didn't pay too much attention to deadline....which is tomorrow. Zero games (despite like 10 games that didn't count!). Weekends only killed our chances of finishing in time. Two weeks was "too mini."

Any chance on an extension until 15/09/2008? If not, I guess SirG and I are banned...

School is in session unlike last time, and this "players around the world" thing makes timing difficult. Only 1 team is close to completing the circuit.

SignUP`s where short
PlayTime is short.......
But Kayz and I am able to play all these games on the time but it is hard to meet other. For example Johnmir and I talked above 2days when we can meet us to play.

Any chance on an extension until 15/09/2008?
^^That where good, I think^^

-Wriggler call me, when we can play?
tomorrow is last day

short pretty much sumarises the idea of these mini leagues. The previous ones worked almost perfectly even though there were more teams in and less time. Even the first one worked better with 8 teams, 12 days sign ups and 8 days playtime. While this one totally sucked with 5 teams, 15 days sign up and 15+15 days of playing time.
The problem?: us, the players, because it is not an event meant for casual players (like CWT is), it is meant for people that luckly have some free time and want to play many games in a short period with other people that also have some free time. This time it didn't work because there weren't enough of those lucky people, instead more casual players decided to sign up and thought they had enough time to even turn down the chance of playing a game because they weren't feeling confident enough. I am sorry about that, tournaments like CWT are meant for "casual players that do not play if they don't feel confident enough", with all the timekeeping issues that brings about (1 year and a half for 8 games, WTF!), leagues are meant for those players, but not the 2v2 mini leagues that in fact started as a 2v2 one-evening-tournament but with 12 days sign ups and a whole week instead of one day to play the games.

Probably the introductory description is wrong, and instead of "mini league" should say "15-days tournament".

Anyway, if everybody thinks 15 more days is enough that will done, hopefully all the games, including the final will be played by then. But the next ones will surelly be more tournament-like.

Haha! 6000$

i'm $_$ !
Cmon, Jakka, i'm in msn for all the time!
I don't think some of guys should signed up actually. If you can't play - you shouldn't. I can tell you fair, i don't know about Jigsaw but me : i was for playing when we signed up, but it was a moment i was searching for a job, was a bit busy and all my thoughts was about job, i lost interest a bit, but i realized i have to concentrate on playing too since i signed up, when Jigsaw came to msn (he didn't get used to lately!) cause he realized the same i suppose, we started to controll msn and chat. We both had some things to do. But we paid attention, just the same was done by Destroyer. This guy hadn't got enough time but he wanted to play! It wasn't easy to get an agreement but we did it and played! Jakka and Daz were monitoring ag all the time too (first off all cause it was really hard to find some guys).
The main idea : do not register if you don't feel you haven't got time and you are not responsible. Guys who registered and didn't play just acted not the best way with Dario.
Well, i can understand you Daz, and i see what you meant but some of your words connected to cwt was incorrect in my opinioin. Especially after all the problems we had there
