Quote Hrqls: vacation days are there for people to use if they need them

Yes that is true but some people constantly abuse the system. If the person is on site almost every day then they obviously don't "need" the vacation days.

If they sign up for games they should take into consideration the time they will need to play the "thinking" games and not sign up for so many games. It shows a total lack of consideration for their opponents and the other people in the tournament. And this becomes highly apparent where pawns are involved.
