I've been observing, and tournaments seem like an interesting thing! At first, you refuse everyone's requests to play... then, you appear 2 days before the deadline, loudly announce that you're ready to play with everyone, and of course, everyone has their own things to do, technical times are set, and you're left waiting. How do you like this strategy? Perhaps the organizers need to describe the deadlines for intermediate games more specifically, because it really turns into a mess.
