Peter Hill response

Cohost response for T5.

1. The 2 vs 3 day rule was established in T1 as fast play as explained carried out for all the tournaments. All players were satisfied with that rule . I recommend for any concerns if someone like to play then set vacation mode on therefore it resolves those issues.

2. Bonne Chance and myself we have responded to requests for good players in 1600 - 1700 range however were declined they did not meet specifications for player profile ......there were no exceptions. Which I don't foresee any bending of player acceptance rules.

Closing :
a. With any event, sport, business, personal matters there will be someone not going to be happy with the guidelines provided.
b. Here on the "unofficial ZE tournaments" we have determine the majority votes on the polls make the rules which is fair for all the players than a host dictating their own rules.

***** T5 host committee has carried forward the spirit of how the "unofficial tournaments" have been played in the past and voted on by the players******

Hopeful this has resolved your concerns.

…

It doesn't.

If you read the rules posted, they state:

1d. Exceptions do apply other top ranked players send co hosts (BC or IIM) request for approval we are flexible.

It is clear from the above that you are reserving the right to include players who do not meet the agreed criteria. There has been no poll to give you this right.

You can't have exceptions on some rules but not others. You should either be "flexible" and allow Chw's suggestion or remove the clause above from the rules.

Poll for number of days - CAST YOUR VOTE

Cohost T5 Poll number of days

1. Bonne chance, KKid and myself we have established a poll where all players for T5 and past players tournaments can cast their vote for either playing 2 or 3 days.

2. I will send out a direct message to all current register players / former players who have not signed up yet for T5 and request cast their vote for # of days.

3. Therefore all players can cast their opinions how they like to see T5 played and future tournaments. We maintain the spirit of the games.

NOTE: Keep in mind the majority of votes will be the decision.

4. There will be a cut off of 12:01 pm - Central Standard Time USA 11/14/13.... Allows all players time to vote and the format rules / regulations will be amended for T5.

Here is the direct link vote for 2/ 3 day rule for play.
