Alright guys; thread thoroughly cleaned.
This is NOT the Balance Forum; this is a tournament thread.
Take it elsewhere, or simply don't bother starting the crap in the first place.
Now. Real life; for all those who forget; is the core section of our lives. EF is a hobby; gaming is a good bit of entertainment.
Getting overly angry and bitchy because people find themselves unable to play due to correctly placed priorities is simply childish (as is pages of arguments funnelled directly from your hate of losing - or using masses of smilies Seeme

).
On the other hand...tournaments are a nice bit of competitive fun; however, if you do think you might not be able to make it, or something might come up; then either don't sign-up in the first place, or pick a more likely date from the get-go (Friday for example, when you may, or may not be doing something is clearly a stupid choice; we want 100% likeliness of you being available).
This may just be a game, but that doesn't stop the annoyance of being cancelled on last minute in any stretch of life; so simply put, try have a little forethought and some courtesy for others if you plan on joining a small scale tournament.
Simply plan ahead (individually and as a tournament) and this will be less of a problem.
Now. Anyone replying to this post will have their post treated as Off-Topic and deleted; continue to do so, and you will be suspended.Anything after this i want to see only related to the EF 2v2 Tournament #2.
Play nicely, and we won't have to go round being patronising and deleting posts.
