Geo, i know u are already playing for askan when he is off on holidays.

Perhaps u could do the same for Tbontob since he wont be back till next week?

THe problem is he didn't notify me of his absence. If I allow him to get by without notifying me, then the other people I have eliminated for the same reasons can say "Well I told so and so I was going to be gone. Why did you eliminate me?". The end result is we all end up waiting on every person that goes missing and the tourney ends up taking 6 years to complete. At the beginign of this thing I opened it up to anyone that wanted to compete. I could have limited it jsut to people I was familier with and knew were reliable, but I wanted it to be a true open tournament. But to do that I have to insist that people live up to certain minimum responsibilities. Primary among those is that if they are going to be gone for an extended period of time, they have to tell me about it. It courtesy to me, and to everyone else in the tournament.
