No worries. You haven't wasted our time. It's just much more difficult to organize an event like this and keep it going over a longer stretch of time.
The reasons are twofold, but related:
First, momentum can quickly get lost over long stretches with no matches.
Second, it is much harder to keep people tuned in over two months than one (especially with the aforementioned stretches of inactivity). This leads to
significantly greater challenges in scheduling than we've seen yet in this tournament.
Okay. I said two, but here's a third: as hard as competing can be, judging is harder, and organizing it is even harder than that. And I'm out of booze money.
Anyway, I am glad you signed up in the first place, but I do appreciate your decision to step down rather than compete when you can't give it your all. I am sorry we couldn't make it work this time around, but I do hope you have the opportunity to do so next time.
Just to give you an idea when that might be, I think we'll be aiming for Septemberish. After the big cons, but before the big holidays.
Good luck, and thank you for your interest.
