You are the only player on your team to have finished any games.
Please be patient and let others catch up

How can the rounds of the competition be called "Match Day", when each doesn't even start on the same day for all groups? At this rate, Group B will finish all 3 match days before Romania-Texas or Bulgaria-Germany finish their first. @yiannakos, in your words to Esprit above, please be patient and let others catch up.

Then, the question should be asked, at what point do we stop waiting for slow players, and say that old games are a no-result for the tournament (2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks)?

Please be fair and start match day 2 for all groups, so that all faster players can play, and the tournament can progress as a whole.

As we have done in all previous tournaments, so we are doing now:

When both matches for a group are over, or very nearly over, that's when the next match day begins for that group.
In group B, 31 games of 32 were finished so the next match day begins. When any other group can reach the same point, the same will happen FOR THAT GROUP.

9 years, i dont see any reason to change much now.. Day1,2,3 starting times dont mean much. We always seem to catch up fot the playoffs
We can talk, ask to hurry them up but...........

I am sorry if my comments have caused anyone to feel upset or agitated. I appreciate the efforts that people go to in order to make something like this tournament happen.

If some aspects seem unusual to me, it may just be my perspective, playing this tournament for the first time. The staggered starting times was not something I was expecting and I vented my surprise. I didn't realise that this was the intended and historical process. I see @nightking's point that some people wait now and others wait later, but in the end the wheel turns and everything meets up at some point.

Again, thanks for putting on an awesome tournament.
