Question for the organizers:
I looked at the tournament deadline – until mid-January!!! That's almost half a year! When, if desired, can you realistically play all the games in 2 months without rushing?
Maybe we can shorten the deadline? Because with this schedule, it's only 2 tournaments a year – that's depressing!
And even better, until the end of October; 3 months is more than enough for 15 games, and those who are slow won't even finish in half a year, in my opinion!

Let's make it at least until the end of November (this is, by the way, an objective deadline based on the principle of 1 game per week), and then open a new tournament in November, starting on December 1st.
Or even better, until the end of October, 3 months is more than enough for 15 games, and those who are slow won't even finish in half a year, in my opinion!
Tournaments motivate players, even new ones appear, and the more tournaments, the better! What do you think?

The maximum tournament duration has been set, taking into account unforeseen circumstances.
No one is forcing anyone to play until that deadline.
Play: the sooner we finish, the sooner we can start a new tournament.

It's understandable, but...
There will always be one or two people who will delay things until the last moment, and because of them, the tournament will stall.
But if the deadlines are shortened, there will be no desire to delay.

Plus one! ))))
By the way, this is happening, in my opinion, with the "Favorite Factions Battle 2" tournament. Although the official deadline has already passed, and the completed stage doesn't seem interesting to discuss anymore, it's just an example.

Practice shows that some players are not deterred by any tournament deadlines: they still don't finish their games...

I'm withdrawing from the tournament due to family issues.
