The most annoying thing people do when signing up for tourny

Postby Mr_Adams on Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:27 pm

Why do people post in doubles tournament threads asking you to find them a partner? I'm running a tournament, not a dating site! I don't want you blaming me when you don't like your partner, it's none of my damned buisness. You want to join, you have your partner ready when you sign up. :evil:

Some T.O.s don't mind signing up singles and matching them later. Lol, if that's the most annoying thing people do to your tournaments, you're not doing bad...:-)

That and dropping out because they don't like their tournament, or when the numbers don't line up, so I have to change something. :P

I know what you mean. I dislike it when players deadbeat, miss their games, don't show up, etc. I've never ran a doubles tournament before, but I feel your pain

Maybe the next Doubles Tournament you run should have a Dating Theme, where you hook people up on Blind Dates?! Sounds hot.

The most annoying thing is actually after they sign up and you send the games--they dont read the instructions and instead of joining one game they join 7 or 29 games which I have had happen--lol

You can send your singles to my doubles tournaments for future reference. I don't mind playing match maker.

No that is me sending a list with exact instructions to find your name and auto join your one game--nothing more 64 games and you have one but somehow you decide to just keep clicking auto join until you figure out you really are a true dumb ass for not paying attention to the instructions

I actually sent out one tourneys games and the guy joined almost every game and was just supposed to join 1 if I remember correctly--we joke about it still today--one of my first tourneys I ever ran too

When freemium members join my speed tournaments. That's always a bummer, having to brighten their day that they can't join because of their status. lol

I dislike the people that sign up twice and I don't notice until I'm about to start creating games and then have to go find a replacement.

How hard is it to know which threads you have posted in?

When you run a theme tournament or something where you have to specify a team to join and all the person says is "in". Means they probably didn't even bother to read the rules.

oh yeah... that's happened to me before.
Also I dislike it when my tournament is ready to start but the mods won't give me privileges because of the unique tournament structure.
