You do not expect People to play on Bold Marked holidays ?
Beside idk how it is where ur from but people go out on the Weekends so you can’t play on both weekend days.


So that’s 4 Weekends People potentially can Play.

BUT:

Div1: Just the Tip need 6 - 7 Weekend days
Lucky Chams, seize & decyst need 6 - 7 Weekend days to play all Matches.

Div2: Like A Glove need 4 or 7 Weekend days to play all Matches.
All other Teams in Div2 need 3 - 4 Weekend days to play all Matches.

Div3: .js needs 7 Weekend days to play all Matches
All the other Teams need basicly 1 Weekend day.



Ok here are some examples of Teams that will probably not play anymore:






And there are more examples of Games where it’s not sure if it will get played cause of not enough time:






So if the Season stays this short there’s 2 Problems:

1) So if somebody is Smart he will just ask Teams for a Match he anticipate to Win and on the other side he could pretend to schedule a Match against stronger teams without meaning to actually Play it.
Like this somebody could deny the Strong teams their points (0-0 they tryed to schedule) and gain points on his own and with the weaker team = Division scoreboard will look wrong...

2) You like Games played instead of no Games played right ?
So please extend the Season 2-3 weekends like it happened in previous seasons.


Thanks

i agree with mega, at least give us one more weekend to play all the matches. you never announced a deadline AT ALL, we didn't even see the end of the season coming

we should have 3 weeks more time since most teams miss 3 matches

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

My team will be able to play all our matches, but the most worthwhile matches at the top of my division will not get played out with this current deadline which is a shame. They will probably play one another in playoffs, but couldn't this affect playoff seeding?

+1
We've been pretty active throughout the entire season and have still had difficulty getting the last 2 matches in before the deadline.

+1
The only weekend that we were able to play a match but did not was the weekend of April 24th. That saturday, the night before we were supposed to play our match, Dies Irae imploded and they were unsure if they were going to be able to make it to our match, so we gave them more time to reorganize and prepare because that's just good sportsmanship. So with the current deadline, my team is unable to play their most anticipated, evenly matched, game of the season simply because we weren't dicks that forced them to play when Dies Irae was in complete chaos. No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

infuriating

Add to this the fact that some official matches that were scheduled for today had to be cancelled due to compmod going down thanks to the patch from UWE and you have further delays...

+1 billion

Extend the season.

+1 on season extension.
