I wasn't going to say anything more either... but it has to be said, a 4 day tournament is just that, 4 days. a 10 day tourney is 10 days, not 5! You can't sign up for a 4 day tourney and complain if people don't move in 2 days. Sign up for a 2 day tournament if thats what you want to move in... any emergency and you have holiday days. But at least you'd know your opponent would have to move in 2 days.
And the idea of making lists of slow players will only antagonise people. I'm a fast player, and I've had people apologise to me for taking a while to move - my reply - take your time! Its a game, not a race. Move when you feel ready, if you're not ready when the time limit is up, book a holiday day! Its a game! I have plenty of others to keep me going!
I wasn't going to say anymore either, Harley, but it has to be said.
I am not complaining that people in a 4 day tournament don't move in 2 days.
I am complaining about the few people who consitantly move in 3 days and 23 hours.
These people either do it to annoy others, or they have so much going on they can only play games which are ready to time out.
I am through trying to speak to the people who do this to aggrivate others.
For those who for whatever reasons are only able to play their games which are ready to time out, I ask them to be conciderate of others, and not play in tournaments with short time limits. Thats all. If you are seriously a leisurly player, what do you care if it is a 7 or 10 or 100 day tournament????? You shouldn't care at all, you are just playing leisurly. I don't dislike you for that, why should you dislike me for wanting to play in tournaments which don't last several months?
What is so difficult about that? If you want to move every 4 days, why can't you do that in an 8 day tournament or a 100 day tournament? Why do you insist on a 4 day tournament, if what you claim about not caring really is true?
