Tournament Organization Question

Post by gdeangel »

I've got my first tournament underway but I have one guy who hasn't showed. It's been about 1-2 days since the email went out that play was starting. When do you usually call up a reserve? My email is still in the "outbox" (not "sent")... I assume that means he didn't even open the email. Any pointers from the pro's?

Can someone move this into my area for me? That's where it belongs. Thanks.

I guess I count as a "pro" :lol:

Anyways, if you are waiting for the player to join, it is usually common practice amongst organizers to give 48-72 hours from when they first send the PM with the game numbers and passwords. Anything past that, and you are free to call in a replacement to take his spot.

As for the fact that he apparently has not read his PMs, I would leave it there and not delete it from your Outbox until after the replacement has joined the proper games and 7 days have passed since then. That is what I do, just to be on the safe side.

Hope that helps,

Regards, Optimus Prime
