Because it's the best way to reach a wide audience and attract new players to the game.why all games are being streamed live?
A-ha! I knew it! Let`s burn him alive, people! It will teach a good lesson to all the other admins/mods to behave, when they organize a next tournament (for free, of course).Guys, players posted them after their matches. Relax. I was stuck at work and had a couple other obligations so I couldn't promote them. I think other staff had their hands tied as well. How long was the delay? 24-36 hours? Sorry!
Would you believe that being a forum admin doesn`t make you a tournament admin, and that you don`t have to do anything with it? Interesting thought, isn`t it...You, Prophet, Buga, PkZ were online many times during that period and nobody had 15 mins to post the recs? Hard to believe.

Btw,I wrote that sugestion for free, of course.Thats why one of my sugestions was that games should be played rated so everybody can download them himself and not be on mercy of admins and players.

+1 thanks to sponsorOn a more serious note, while I understand the impatience, people should also understand that everything is (still) done by the community for the community, and it`s an unbelievable and great thing that we have such sponsors (a huge thanks!) that keep this game alive.
I agree that players shouldn`t be let to disrespect the tournament, especially if they`re paid to play, but that is to be dealt with differently, and if it`s proved to be the case - opening topics like this and without actually knowing what happened but discussing speculations doesn`t do any good, nor it motivates anyone to do anything for you anymore... for free.
Not to get me wrong, even if it`s for free, it doesn`t mean people can`t provide their feedback and ideas - you can, and you should, so it can be made better - but it needs to be done in a well mannered and thought of tone - and understanding is needed if not everything goes as expected.

I really don`t have the time to read everything, and your attitude doesn`t make it any easier. I`ll just say that I think that is not a good idea, as players shouldn`t be forced to play rated games with pre-selected opponents (if you don`t understand why, it`s another topic to discuss), especially in tournaments where (once the sign-up is closed) the ratings don`t have any meaning.You ignored one part of my reply,let me remind you

That way poor admins wont have to post recs, and they shall live happily to the rest of their lives.
It looks like you still don`t get it - by "not having anything to do with the tournament" it also means that we don`t have the recs... We wait for them as everyone else is.Such a strong division of responsibilities for a non professional event.Would you believe that being a forum admin doesn`t make you a tournament admin, and that you don`t have to do anything with it?

Im prety sure nobody wouldnt be mad if some of u posted them.
If you find your posts just "nice and constructive" (writing "buthurted" in the very same sentence, and mocking the "poor admins" at the very start of your post), then I wouldn`t have anything more to add.I appreciate work of admins but,as u said, that doesnt mean i have to agree on everything they do.
I was trying to be nice and constructive and ofered some solutions and not only criticise, but everybody is buthurted and also i think recs dont get respect they deserve !

No use being constructive on that. That's an awful idea.
